KHIDI's September 2026 report records 2,011,822 foreign patients in 2025. This is historical activity, not a measure of treatment safety.
Read the correct total
- Table 2.1 reports 1,170,467 patients in 2024 and 2,011,822 in 2025, an increase of 71.9%.
- Use the report's patient count separately from its measure that includes repeat care and inpatient days.
Check the scope
- Keep the reporting year and the definition beside any statistic you reuse.
- Department figures can count one patient in more than one department. Do not add them as unique people.
Use the figures carefully
- High patient volume does not establish outcomes, your total cost or suitability for treatment.
- Check the clinician, treatment risks and follow-up plan before deciding on care.
