Understanding which clinical guidelines a medical provider follows is important for evaluating the quality and consistency of your treatment—especially if you’re receiving care abroad. In Korea, many physicians adhere to national clinical guidelines developed by Korean medical societies and approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. However, asking how these compare to internationally recognized protocols (like those from WHO, CDC, or NICE) can help you assess whether the care you receive aligns with global best practices. This is particularly relevant for chronic diseases, vaccinations, infection control, and preventive screenings, where international standards may vary. It also helps you and your home-country doctor stay on the same page regarding your ongoing treatment plan. Asking this question shows you’re an informed patient and ensures you’re receiving evidence-based, globally comparable care.
