On 17 February, Wonkwang University Hospital, Iksan City, made a business agreement with KEB Hana Bank, Korea for initiating the Medical Payment Service that is exclusively used by foreigners. As the number of foreign patients has increased, this payment service was requested. It makes KEB Hana Bank to pay for medical expenses under patients' agreement after the patients finish their treatment progress in Wonkwang University Hospital. Once the KEB Hana Bank's Medical Payment Service is begun, Wonkwang University Hospital is able to lower any risk of payment issues caused by international patients. Hospital Director, Doo-Young Choi said that 'We are happy to carry out this safe and convenient payment service for our international visitors.'
