International Health Services
Opened in September 1995, International Health Services offers inpatient and outpatient treatments, consultations, and referrals across a comprehensive range of specializations. The service is a major component of the Samsung Medical Center's Seoul hospital, one of the country's leading health care institutions.
Samsung Medical Center is well received among foreign residents for its outstanding medical and nursing staff and for its proficient services. International Health Services has put into effect the cashless service with certain companies, main embassies, foreign schools, and US army hospitals for the convenience of foreign patients visiting IHS. In addition, IHS has become the undisputed no. 1 International clinic within Korea, with a large portion of foreign patients residing in Korea as well as those residing in other parts of Asia and Middle East visiting the clinic each year.

Famous quotes containing the words health and/or services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
