What do you think is the most serious health problem in Korea?

Koreans’ health conditions have improved dramatically since the end of the Korean War. Life expectancy is 77 years and 84 years for men and women, respectively in 2013, which is one of the highest rates among East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. The death rate has been significantly declined as well. Nevertheless, serious health problems still remain these days. The main cause of death is cancer, followed by cerebrovascular disease, cardiac disorder, suicide, and diabetes, which are typical diseases of developed countries. They are rapidly becoming the primary causes of death. The tensions and social dislocations caused by rapid urbanization and fierce competition apparently increased the incidence of mental illness. The suicide rate is the second highest rate among OECD countries. Korea has a quite good medical insurance program for all the citizens, funded by the government and employees. However, it is still a heavy burden for an individual to pay a medical bill.

Hello Sir [이름] ^^ Good evening! I think life expectancy depends on a person\'s lifestyle. Cancer is really a big problem for people. It is because it is asymptomatic, you will be able to find out that you have the disease once it is already on the last stage. So the only way for the medical practictioners to help patients is to reduce the pain that they are experiencing. They will only be given some medications that will help them feel better.Thanks for your essay again.
