Emergency rooms in Korea

Locations and ER phone numbers of 535 designated emergency departments across South Korea.

Emergency: call 119 — ambulance and fire. Say "English, please"; an interpreter can be connected.

1330 — Korea Travel Hotline, 24 hours, with interpretation (useful when calling a clinic or pharmacy).

1339 — Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency call center, for questions about infectious diseases.

If it's serious, call 119 rather than going on your own. Paramedics decide which hospital can treat you, and the ambulance is free. For minor illness at night or on a holiday, a clinic or pharmacy that is open may be quicker — emergency departments see the most urgent patients first, and non-urgent visits cost more.

This is general health information and does not replace diagnosis or treatment. Opening hours come from Korean public data and may differ from the actual hours — please call before visiting.
