About the clinic
A gastroscopy at Gibbeum General Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, typically runs around $400 for a sedated examination. This diagnostic uses the Olympus EVIS X1 endoscope, which features AI-based detection to identify micro-lesions and polyps in real time. The hospital maintains a high early gastric cancer detection rate, which is 3.2 times the rate of advanced cancer detection.
Advanced Imaging and Safety
Gastroenterologists perform the examination to check the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract. The procedure uses sedation, often called sleep endoscopy, to provide a painless experience. Anesthesiology specialists manage the sedation and monitor the patient in real time. The clinic follows strict infection control, using sterilized equipment and single-use consumables for every patient. The team has performed over 150,000 endoscopy procedures.
Procedure Details and Results
This diagnostic is an outpatient service that allows for immediate action if issues are found. Patients receive a one-stop service where the doctor performs a biopsy or removes polyps on the same day. This removes the need for a second visit. Because the exam involves sedation, patients must use public transport and avoid driving afterward.

If it is not possible to assist a Russian-speaking client, simply say that you cannot, rather than assuring them that everything will be exceptional and a translator will accompany them. This way, the client won't travel from afar, wasting money and time. I was assured of full support, but there was no translator on site. No organization whatsoever. As a result, I was left to face the language barrier alone at the most critical moment. Now I feel much worse than I anticipated.
If there is no possibility to assist a Russian-speaking client, you should simply state that we cannot provide the service, instead of assuring them that everything will be top-notch and that a translator will be present! This way, the client will not travel from afar and waste money and time on the journey and preparation.
