"Korea has a comprehensive healthcare system that provides a wide range of services to its citizens. The government provides universal health insurance coverage for all citizens, which covers most medical expenses. In addition, there are a variety of private health insurance plans available for those who wish to supplement their coverage. Healthcare services in Korea are generally of a high quality, with modern facilities and well-trained medical staff. The country also has a strong emphasis on preventive care, with regular health screenings and vaccinations available for all citizens," wrote a member who made the move to Korea.
