In 2021, dermatological doctors in South Korea saw nearly 12 thousand foreign patients. This represents a further decrease from the previous year. This was likely influenced by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effect on tourism, including medical tourism. South Korea is a popular hub for medical tourists, with one of its specialties being dermatology.
