Pact will attract cosmetic surgeons

Medical and cosmetic surgery services from South Korea are expected to become more widely available in China as a result of the bilateral free trade agreement signed on Monday.

Under the agreement, doctors who are licensed in South Korea, including plastic surgeons, can work in China for six months to a year.

Some coastal cities in Northeast and East China that are near South Korea will be able to obtain advanced Korean medical techniques, drugs and equipment, and establish international health centers, experts said.
