The Korea Medical Institute, or KMI, one of the country's leading medical checkup providers, announced Wednesday that it received a commendation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare during the Medical Korea 2025 event on March 22.

The Global Healthcare Merit Award honors individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to expanding Korean medical services, attracting international patients, training foreign medical professionals, and enhancing Korea's global medical reputation.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, KMI was recognized for its efforts in promoting Korea's medical checkup system abroad and improving international health care services through its extensive global network.

KMI also participated in the Korea Health Industry Development Institute’s medical overseas expansion project in 2024 and successfully established a Korean-style medical checkup center in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

“It is a great honor to be recognized for our contribution to the advancement of global health care on behalf of Korea’s checkup institutions,” said KMI Chairman Lee Kwang-bae.

“We will continue to build trust with our global patients and promote the excellence of Korea’s medical checkup system worldwide.”
