The environment ofhealth care and the main policy issues of health care are difficult to secure the necessary finance for health care in spite of theincreasing health care burden. Accordingly, the Yoon Suk-yeol Government’s health care policy aims to provide intensive support tothose in need of health and welfare and to improve the health of the people through investment in health.
