How this list is built
The MTK Awards are not an editorial ranking or paid placement. Results are calculated from the same platform metrics across all 484 clinics evaluated.
Real activity, not opinion
Results use actual bookings, live consultations, verified Google reviews, and MTK profile-page visits — not staff nominations or clinic self-reported claims.
One evaluation period
All metrics use the same evaluation window, with data current through August 2026, so clinics are compared on a consistent time basis.
Verified before publishing
Metrics were checked for data errors and inconsistencies before winners were finalized, including a full recalculation pass.
Spread across many clinics
A clinic can win only once across the entire program, and only one location per clinic appears in any single category — so no single group can dominate the list.
Minimum sample sizes
Categories based on reviews or bookings only include clinics that cleared a minimum volume, so a handful of reviews or bookings can't produce a misleading result.
Not for sale
Placement cannot be purchased or upgraded. Commission terms and pricing play no part in any award category.
How selection works, step by step
- Collect the data. We gather one full month of bookings, consultations, reviews, and page visits from the MTK platform.
- Apply a minimum bar. Only clinics that meet a category's minimum requirement (for example, at least 5 Google reviews) are considered.
- Compare fairly. Each clinic is measured against every other candidate in that category, so one outlier can't skew the result.
- Remove duplicates. A clinic with more than one location can appear at only one location per category, and can win only once across the whole program.
- Verify the numbers. Before publishing, we recalculate every figure and check it for errors.
Category requirements
Every category has its own minimum bar, and the number of clinics selected scales with how many cleared it — categories with a larger qualifying pool recognize more clinics. A clinic with just one or two data points can't win by chance.
| Category | What we measure | Minimum requirement | Clinics considered | Clinics selected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Most Chosen | Payments and bookings made through MTK | At least 1 completed booking | 82 | 10 |
| Global Favorite | Live consultations with international patients | At least 1 consultation | 281 | 34 |
| Top Rated | Google review count × rating | At least 5 Google reviews | 115 | 14 |
| Most Visited | Visits to the clinic’s MTK profile page | At least 1 visit | 87 | 10 |
| Global Trust | How evenly patients come from different countries | At least 50 international visits | 262 | 31 |
GRAND PRIZE
Best of 2026
Myeongdong
Out of 484 clinics on MTK, this clinic scored highest overall across patient volume, satisfaction, and booking reliability.
Category awards
Each category recognizes a different number of clinics — more when more clinics clear the bar — listed in alphabetical order (A–Z) rather than ranked. A clinic can only win once across the whole program, and only one location per clinic appears in each category.

How close was the competition
This shows how far the top result in each category was above the typical (median) clinic that qualified for it — as a multiple, not an amount. It does not name or single out any one clinic.
Global Trust naturally shows the smallest gap: a low, even score across many countries is exactly what that category rewards.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Medical Travel Korea Awards 2026?
It recognizes the top-performing partner clinics on the MTK platform for international patients, based on real booking, consultation, and review data from August 2026.
How are winners selected?
From real platform data — bookings, live consultations, verified Google reviews, and profile page visits — measured the same way across all 484 clinics. Categories based on reviews or bookings require a minimum sample size. See "How selection works" above for the full process.
Why are category winners listed alphabetically instead of ranked?
Clinics selected within a category are listed alphabetically (A–Z), not ranked. This avoids implying that small differences within the selected group represent a meaningful quality hierarchy.
Can a clinic pay to be featured or ranked higher?
No. Placement cannot be purchased or upgraded. Commission terms and advertising spend play no part in any award category.
Can one clinic win more than one award?
No. A clinic can win only one award across the entire program, and only one location per clinic can appear in any single category.
When are the next awards?
The next awards will be based on first-half 2029 performance data.
Selection criteria, in detail
- All winners are calculated from real booking, consultation, and review data on the MTK platform as of August 2026.
- Every figure went through a data verification process before selection.
- A clinic with multiple locations can win only one award across the entire program, and only one location represents it in any single category.
- The next awards will be based on 2029 first-half performance.
