This study aims to discuss the necessity of cultivating Korean-Spanish medical interpreters and studying related fields. To this end, this study examined the current status of Korea-Latin America medical trade, in particular the areas of interpreting services such as telemedicine, medical devices, construction of medical facilities, cord blood banking, and medical insurance and medicines. As the economic exchange between Korea and Latin America has grown, the demand for interpreting services in the healthcare area between the two regions has also increased. Since the amendment of the Medical Service Act in 2009, the Korean government has created training programs for medical interpreters, recognizing the importance of medical interpreters in attracting foreign patients and promoting inbound medical tourism. As a part of such endeavors, the Korean government introduced the Medical Interpreter Qualification Test on English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Arabic in 2016 and added Mongolian into the test languages in 2017. However, Spanish, the second most spoken language in the world, has not been included in the test while the Latin American healthcare market reaches USD 55 billion. This implies that the gap between languages and beneficiaries of medical interpreting services in Korea will grow further. Therefore, the Korean government needs to pay attention to the Spanish-spoken healthcare market across the world, more focusing on outbound supports in the initial phase and gradually shifting their efforts into supports for inbound medical interpreting services.
