Medical & Health

SOS Public Health aims to increase access to public health information for our multi-national community in South Korea.  We want to make sure that you have the information you need to navigate healthcare and health related situations while living  in South Korea.
  • The following blogs address specific needs expressed by our international community living in South Korea. We have surveyed over a hundred individuals living across nine different provinces to understand the needs of the community. Our team researches the challenges the international community in Korea face and works to find solutions to these challenges.
  • We HIGHLY recommend reading each of these blogs more than once as they will provide you with a great deal of insight into the Korean healthcare system.  Health policies constantly change and our team does their best to keep our blogs up-to-date with the latest information and resources.
  • If you have public health-related concerns that need to be added to this list, feel free to let us know in the comments or message us at publichealth@southofseoul.net
