I live in the Gunpo area and have to get my medical done tomorrow. Can I use any hospital or is it only specific ones that carry out all the necessary checks? If it has to be a specific hospital, can anyone advise me on which one to go to. Anyang and Sanbon are nearby.
Cheers

According to the Immigration regulations, the medical check can be done at a government hospital (국립병원 or 공립병연) or a general hospital (종합병원). The following are the relevant sections of the E-2 regulations in Korean and English, taken from the Immigration Guide on the HiKorea website (http://www.hikorea.go.kr):

Korean:

※ 입국 후 외국인 등록 시 국�공립병원, 종합병원 등에서 발급한 건강진단서 제출 필요
- 검사항목에 마약복용 여부 검사를 위한 TBPE검사, 에이즈 감염 여부 확인을 위한 HIV검사는 필수 항목임
▶ 마리화나 복용여부 확인을 위한 카나비노이드 검사는 삭제


English:
Quote:
- Submit health examination records upon applying to be a registered foreigner after entering Korea.
※ �Recruitment health exam� MUST include TBPE test(tests for drug abuse) and HIV test (tests for AIDS) results(cannabinoid test for Marijuana need not to be included)

I'd suggest printing them out (especially the Korean) and taking them with you so the hospital will give you what you need.
