About the Book

Medicine is Science but Healthcare is Politics
This book is comprised of three parts. Part I examines Korean health care today. The present state of Korean healthcare, a combination of the nation's unique historical background and its inherent social and cultural characteristics, has both bright and dark sides. Part I points out numerous health care problems that are festering beneath the surface. It also analyzes key agendas like reforming the medical fee payment system. The difficulty of reform and the social responsibilities demanded of physicians are also discussed.
Part II examines the development of Korean health care during the last half-century. All of the unique strengths and weaknesses of the system are rooted in Korea's rapid economic development. The historical context of the Doctor Strike is also explained.
Part III discusses the changing health care paradigm, the future of health care, and our response to it. The importance of quality control, the future of medicine with science and technology, new methods for resolving medical disputes, and reasonable distribution of finite resources are all topics that are becoming increasingly important.

This book is a hybrid that spans the past, present, and future. It covers the various facets of politics, economics, society, and culture. It mingles research and statistics with personal experience. There are numerous case studies alongside imagined scenarios. Perhaps the layout has something to do with the author's unusual background.
This book, which vividly demonstrates the past and present of Korean healthcare, as well as its strengths and weaknesses, will provide great insight for all people in developed countries concerned about soaring medical costs, and those in developing countries aspiring to expand medical infrastructure.
