Description

이 법은 공공보건의료의 기본적인 사항을 정하여 국민에게 양질의 공공보건의료를 효과적으로 제공함으로써 국민보건의 향상에 이바지함을 목적으로 한다.

이 법은 또한 공공보건의료기관이 취약계층에 대한 보건의료 및 아동과 모성, 장애인, 정신질환, 감영병, 응급진료 등 수익성이 낮아 공급이 부족한 보건의료를 우선적으로 제공하도록 의무를 부여한다 (제7조, 공공보건의료기관의 의무).

The purpose of this Act is to effectively provide citizens with higher-quality public health and medical services and contribute to the improvement of national health by prescribing basic matters regarding public health and medical services.

This Act also prescribes obligations of public health and medical institutions to prioritize health and medical services for the underprivileged, as well as health and medical services lacking in supply due to low profitability such as those for children, maternity, persons with disabilities, mental illnesses, infectious diseases, and emergency treatment (Article 7, Obligations of Public Health and Medical Institutions).
