Prices are copied as published, in the provider's currency. Conversions use the European Central Bank reference rates of 23 October 2026 and are rounded. A provider can change a price at any time: ask for a written quote.

The Kangbuk Samsung prices are from its domestic check-up page, which carries no date and does not say whether foreign patients pay the same. Severance Hospital runs an international health-care centre that takes check-up bookings from abroad and lists sedation for gastroscopy at 156,000 KRW, but we could not find its package prices (Severance).

Planning the trip from Canada

  1. Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a heart check-up and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goBring a list of your medicines and any earlier ECGs or reports.
  3. Before you goWear comfortable shoes if a treadmill test is included.
  4. Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca).
  5. LanguageKorean; the big Seoul hospitals have international health-care centres with English-speaking coordinators.
  6. After you returnGive the full report to your doctor; abnormal results are followed up at home.
