Naeeuiwon was an exclusive medical institution attached to the palace which took charge of the treatment of kings and royal family members as well as high-ranked officials. This institution looked after the king’s health and cured illnesses, mobilizing the best medical knowledge of the time. It also compiled and distributed medical literature.

Euinyeo refers to the lower-ranked court ladies who carried out all the work nowadays done by doctors, nurses and medical assistants. Unlike today, medical workers in the Joseon Dynasty were from the lower classes and the female assistants were picked from among the slaves in town. Then they had to learn acupuncture and methods of feeling the pulse of female royals. They also took on the role of midwives. According to “Gyeongguk-daejeon” (“The Code of Governing Criteria in Jo-seon”), the majority of euinyeo trained in medical skills joined the Royal Institute of Medicine and Pharmaceuticals; the remainder were sent to the provinces. Some of the prettiest euinyeo took on the role of dancers at palace banquets and were called yakbangisaeng. In some cases, they conducted body searches of other court ladies and female servants, to find out if they had stolen any royal items. W
