The Comprehensive Health Care Management Plan for People with Disabilities: Its Progress and Issues That Need Addressing

Abstract

In this article, I aim to discuss the 1st Comprehensive Health Care Management Plan for People with Disabilities, set to be implemented in the second half of this year, pursuant to Article 6 of the Act on Guarantee of Right to Health and Access to Medical Services for People with Disabilities. Specifically, I will discuss the plan’s main objectives, the principles by which the plan is being made, how far it is into development, the process of expert involvement in its making, the deliverables, and prospects beyond. This article is a reworked summary of A Study of the Comprehensive Health Care Management Plan for People with Disabilities, a research I conducted in 2023 for the Korea National Rehabilitation Center Research Institute.
