International Care Center

Pusan National University Hospital began services for foreign patients in September 2002 and opened its International Care Center in May 2012. The center supports nearby foreign residents and people travelling for medical care. ^[1]

Nurses and professional coordinators provide interpretation and consultation across appointments, care and payment. The centre also offers 24-hour telephone consultation in English, Chinese and Russian; its listed contact is 051-240-7472. ^{[6] [4]}

Outpatient registration and payment

Weekday registration runs from 08:00 to 16:00, with outpatient care from 09:00 to 17:30. Registration times vary by department, so contact the relevant department before visiting. ^[5]

For a first visit under National Health Insurance, patients need identification; a referral document is also required except for Family Medicine and Dental Treatment. A patient’s usual clinic or hospital can issue that referral. Returning National Health Insurance patients should bring identification and the hospital-issued patient card. If insurance eligibility, address or contact details change, tell the administration team at the hospital so patient details can be corrected. ^{[9] [10]}

At reception, patients submit the registration slip at the relevant department counter. The outpatient sequence continues through care and payment, followed by prescription issue. ^[11]

Reserved admission process

For a reserved admission, the hospital contacts the patient by call or text after the date and room are confirmed. Admission may be delayed on the scheduled day because of ward conditions or a patient discharge. ^[12]

Admission paperwork is handled on weekdays from 08:30 to 17:30 at counters in A Building 1F, T Building 2F or C Building 1F. On public holidays or at night, the hospital directs patients to the Emergency Department counter in E Building 1F; patients and guardians show identification. ^{[13] [14]}

After admission and discharge

After admission paperwork, patients go to the inpatient support centre for further guidance or to their ward, depending on the ward. After settling the account, patients visit the ward nurse station to receive a discharge guide. The guide includes test appointments and medication information. ^{[15] [16]}

Regular discharge processing runs weekdays from 09:00 to 17:30. Provisional discharge is processed Saturday 08:30–13:00 at A Building 1F; other times and holidays use the E Building 1F Emergency Department payment counter. ^[17]
