How does TripDoc help foreigners who live in Korea?
Foreigners who do not speak Korean usually get stuck on three things: choosing the right hospital, communicating with it, and finding somewhere open at night or on a holiday. The TripDoc app helps with all three in one place.
- Search hospitals by specialty, area and the criteria that matter, and compare them at a glance.
- The emergency category shows emergency rooms, night clinics, night pharmacies and pharmacies on a map based on the user's location.
- Consult a hospital about bookings, schedules and symptoms inside the app with real-time AI translation.
- Keep conversations going at the hospital and in daily life with the voice interpreter.
- Share and read information about care and life in Korea in the TripDoc community.
TripDoc is not a medical institution. Diagnosis, treatment and prescriptions come from hospitals and pharmacies. In a life-threatening emergency, call 119 first.

Questions from organizations
Can foreigners who live in Korea use the TripDoc app?
Yes. The TripDoc app is not only for travelers. Foreigners living in Korea can download it from the App Store and Google Play. Hospital search, the map of emergency rooms and night pharmacies, and AI-translated consultation work the same whatever the reason for the stay.
Can people use TripDoc without installing the app?
Yes. TripDoc also works in a web browser at app.tripdoc.kr, with no download. The web version has hospital and treatment search, categories for emergency rooms, pharmacies, night clinics and night pharmacies, and a translation menu, in Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
Does TripDoc advertise or promote particular hospitals?
TripDoc does not order hospitals by how much they pay for advertising. It shows hospitals that match the specialty, area and criteria the user chooses, and the user decides which hospital to visit.
Should people use TripDoc in an emergency?
In a life-threatening emergency, a call to 119 comes before any app. If you do not speak Korean, say "English please" and the operator will connect an interpreter. The emergency category in the TripDoc app is for finding where emergency rooms, night clinics and night pharmacies are.
Is there a healthcare guide that foreign residents can read themselves?
Yes. The TripDoc guide for foreign residents explains health insurance, how to use hospitals and pharmacies, emergency numbers and helplines, with official sources. You can link to it from your own material: https://tripdoc.kr/en/guide/living-in-korea
