Incheon Medical Support Center(Incheon Port International Passenger Terminal)
Incheon(Jung-gu) , Songdo International Business District

Incheon Medical Support Center (Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal) 1. Overview: Incheon’s Advanced Medical Tourism Operation System Incheon has established a top-tier medical tourism operation system to streamline medical tourism processes and ensure the systematic management of related procedures. By introducing two key platforms—FPIS (Foreign Patient Information System) and MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System)—Incheon actively promotes local medical institutions and specialized medical tourism products to prospective international patients. Through this comprehensive approach, the Incheon Medical Support Center stands as a central resource, providing efficient, reliable support for visitors seeking both travel and healthcare services. 2. Services & Benefits * Free or Simple Health Checks At the New International Passenger Terminal, visitors can often find basic health screening tools (e.g., blood pressure monitors, BMI devices) to quickly assess their current health. This immediate feedback can be especially useful after a ferry trip or for those feeling travel fatigue. * Medical Referrals & Coordination Staff can recommend reputable local hospitals, clinics, or specialized treatment centers in Incheon. Whether you need ongoing therapy, a routine check-up, or advanced procedures, the center helps simplify the appointment process. With FPIS, they maintain organized patient information and can connect travelers to appropriate medical institutions more swiftly and accurately. * One-Stop Medical Service Incheon’s “one-stop medical service” approach covers every stage of a foreign patient’s journey: from initial pre-arrival information-gathering to post-treatment follow-up after returning home. This integrated service allows medical tourists to conveniently access essential healthcare resources, confirm travel arrangements, and receive aftercare guidance, all within one cohesive system. * Marketing & Tourist Support Leveraging the MTMS (Medical Tourism Marketing System), the center promotes Incheon’s diverse medical tourism offerings to international patients, highlighting specialized treatments, wellness programs, and unique local attractions. Beyond healthcare, the center can provide travel tips, lodging recommendations, or tour ideas—helping travelers merge medical care with a rewarding tourist experience. 3. Location & Accessibility * Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal The center is typically located in a visible area near the main passenger arrivals. If unsure, ask at an information counter for directions to the “Incheon Medical Support Center.” * Hours of Operation Timetables may vary depending on passenger ferry schedules or special circumstances. For current details, check official websites or social media channels. 4. Additional Tips for Travelers * Insurance & Documentation Have your travel insurance policy and relevant documents ready. This will expedite cost and coverage inquiries, especially when scheduling treatments or dealing with potential medical expenses. * Emergency vs. Non-Emergency For life-threatening conditions, call 119 (Korea’s emergency line) or proceed directly to an emergency facility. The Medical Support Center handles initial advice, simpler consultations, and referrals but is not an emergency department. * Language Support Staff may speak English, Chinese, or Japanese. For deeper discussions of complex medical issues, a translation app or professional interpreter might be helpful—particularly if you have detailed healthcare concerns. * Explore Incheon If your medical schedule allows, consider touring Incheon’s port areas, historical sites, or dining hubs. The center can give tips on combining medical treatments with local sightseeing or wellness programs. 5. Why Use the Incheon Medical Support Center at the Port * Comprehensive Medical Tourism System Incheon’s advanced FPIS and MTMS platforms ensure a seamless experience, from discovering local medical providers to finalizing a treatment plan. * Convenient Health Checks & Guidance Free basic health screenings, quick consultations, and referral assistance let travelers address health concerns promptly. * Integrated One-Stop Service Take advantage of the one-stop medical approach, where everything from pre-arrival planning to post-departure follow-up is managed in a unified system, ensuring minimal hassle. * Enhance Your Travel Experience Combine medical treatments, wellness programs, and Incheon’s tourist offerings for a unique, well-rounded trip—supported by professional staff who cater to your healthcare and travel needs. The Incheon Medical Support Center (Incheon Port New International Passenger Terminal), backed by Incheon’s robust medical tourism operation system (FPIS and MTMS), serves as an essential gateway for visitors seeking efficient healthcare support and one-stop medical tourism services. From free health checks upon arrival to advanced medical referrals and aftercare planning, this center stands ready to help international patients navigate both their health and travel experiences in Incheon.

Manggyeongam Temple

In addition, Prince Pyeongwon, the 7th son of King Sejong, and Grand Prince Jean built a dais at Mangyeongam Temple and Chilseongdae and pledged filial piety. The temple is more widely known for its connection to the Chilseong faith, in which believers worship Chilseong (the Seven Stars).

In the words inscribed near the statue, there is also a legend that says Lee Gu-seung carved Gwaneum Statue near the Maaeyeoraejwasang and built the temple in 1897. Next to the temple is a pond called “Bokumul,” which means “blessed sugared water.” The neighborhood of Bojeong-dong takes its name from this pond. At the temple, Daeungjeon Hall (the main temple) and Samseonggak Shrine (shrine for three spirits), Mireukjeon Hall were all established fairly recently.
