If you are sick in Korea — the short version

1. Life-threatening: call 119 (free, interpreter available). Don’t drive yourself.
2. Urgent but stable: go to the nearest emergency room above — ERs take walk-ins 24h; expect to pay a triage fee first.
3. Cold, stomach, minor injury: a pharmacy (약국) sells most basics without a prescription; convenience stores stock painkillers and cold medicine after hours.
4. Need a doctor, not urgent: a clinic (의원) — most see walk-ins on weekdays; the foreign-patient list above is where English is likeliest.
5. Keep every receipt for travel insurance; ask for a 진단서 (diagnosis certificate) if you’ll claim.

FAQ

Is there a 24-hour pharmacy in Jung-gu?

Few Korean pharmacies run 24 hours; what you’ll find are late-night pharmacies (25 here close at 21:00 or later or open on Sunday — see the table) and, after that, convenience stores, which sell a fixed set of basics (painkillers, cold medicine, digestive aids, plasters) around the clock. The live box above shows which pharmacies are open at this minute.

What do I do in an emergency in Korea?

Call 119 — it is free, works from any phone including foreign SIMs, and the operator can connect an English interpreter. Say the district and a landmark. For anything that is not an emergency, the 1330 tourist hotline (24h, English) can point you to a clinic. Emergency rooms accept walk-ins 24 hours; you pay first and claim on travel insurance.

Which hospitals speak English?

The 9 hospitals and clinics listed below are registered with Korea Tourism Organization’s medical-tourism programme, which requires services for foreign patients. Large university hospitals also run international clinics with English-speaking coordinators.

How much does a pharmacy or clinic visit cost without Korean insurance?

Prices are not in this data, so we don’t quote them. You pay at the counter without Korean national insurance and claim from your travel insurer afterwards — ask for an itemised receipt and a diagnosis certificate (진단서).

Where does this list come from?

The National Emergency Medical Center (E-Gen) pharmacy and emergency-room registries and Korea Tourism Organization’s medical-tourism directory, all on data.go.kr. Hours are what each pharmacy filed; the live box uses them plus today’s weekday.
