Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) has a mission and vision which, taken together, are to propel Korea to one of the world’s leading top five bio-health nations by 2015. KHIDI is a government-funded organization established in 1999 to improve Korea’s healthcare system through development of the overall healthcare industry.

KHIDI’s goals are to position Korea’s healthcare industry as a solid global leader. This is done in two ways. First, KHIDI provides comprehensive and professional support programs for Korea’s hospitals and clinics. Second, KHIDI strengthens the global competitiveness of Korea’s national healthcare industry by consulting, interfacing, and sharing healthcare technology and expertise with leading government, academic and private institutions around the world.

Council for Korea Medicine Overseas Promotion (CKMP) is a government-private joint initiative founded to promote Korea’s Healthcare internationally. As an official organization for Medical Tourism, CKMP is supported by the Government, and serves as the "acting body" for a series of national policies in regard to medical travel.

The primary function of CKMP is to promote Korean healthcare to the international community and to foster safe and reliable infrastructure. Currently over 30 hospitals and clinics are actively involved as CKMP members. Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) and Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) work with CKMP, and The Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs supports CKMP activities.
