I have studied and analyzed the laws related with medical care in North
Korea, which are the constitutional law of North Korea, the medical law of
North Korea, the law of people's health of North Korea, and so on.
According to this analytic study, I know that "a general treatment-free
system", "a system of making doctors' round", "a preventive medicine
system", "a cooperative diagnosis and treatment system between Korea
Medicine (Oriental Medicine) and Occidental Medicine" are the major
characteristics of health-medical care system of North Korea, and also, I
understand that there is a wide difference between the health-medical care
system of North Korea and the health-medical care system of South
Korea.
The national economy that North Korea has pursued and is
self-supporting, by working out its salvation by its own efforts, is passing
through a very serious crisis, and, economic productivity of North Korea is
awfully lowering, and, economic growth of North Korea is slowing down;
therefore, generally speaking, the economic situation of North Korea is
getting more and more serious.
I think on the basis of this analysis that a situation fraught with
difficulty of economy of North Korea would keep the medical security
system of North Korea from developing in the future.
So I think that the three major health-medical care systems that North
Korea has taken pride in, toward the international community, would be
decisively influenced by the condition of economy of North Korea. Not only to prepare for the reunification in the future, but also to
centralize the health-medical care system of both South Korea and North
Korea, I think that I need continuously to study and analyze the
health-medical care system of both South Korea and North Korea, and the
medical law of North Korea, by making the most of more positive and
objective data in a coming study.
