Medical Korea 2025 To Spotlight AI-powered Healthcare, Medical Tourism

KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Medical Korea 2025 (the 15th Global Healthcare & Medical Tourism Conference), will be held for four days beginning March 20, at Coex, Seoul, South Korea.

Hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) and organised by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI), the conference will be hosted under the theme ‘AI-powered Personalised Healthcare: Integrating into Our Daily Lives’.

According to a statement, the conference will serve as a platform to explore innovative cases of artificial intelligence (AI) integration into medicine, government policy directions, and strategies aimed at enhancing the global competitiveness of Korean healthcare.

In particular, this year’s forum is designed to ensure that the focal points of all sessions are linked to AI, in addition to establishing a new milestone for those involved in global healthcare.

The conference will be attended by globally renowned experts in AI healthcare who will deliver speeches across all six forums, starting from keynote speeches by Emory Healthcare and Emory University Chief Information and Digital Officer, Alistair Erskine, and Nanyang Technological University Professor Park Seung-min.

Healthcare professionals are expected to show significant interest in a forum that will discuss the introduction of AI in medical tourism, particularly by examining exemplary cases of Korea, the United States, European Union, United Arab Emirates, India, and Malaysia.

Alongside diverse forums, Medical Korea 2025 will host business meetings in two areas, namely medical tourism and global public healthcare procurement, involving relevant agencies in Korea and inviting International buyers.

In addition, a promotional exhibition will be held, featuring K-Beauty Zone, Medical Industry Zone, and Hospital Zone, which is expected to capture the interest of visitors from related industries.
