South Korea unveils 2026–2030 national health promotion plan
South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare has approved a new five‑year national health plan targeting youth mental health, chronic diseases, and climate‑related health risks.
South Korea has launched its 6th National Health Promotion Comprehensive Plan (2026–2030), broadening policy scope from youth mental health to chronic diseases and climate‑related impacts. The plan emphasizes narrowing widening health gaps, strengthening surveillance for climate‑related health risks, and expanding care for vulnerable groups. The ministry notes that healthy life expectancy has declined and income‑based health disparities have grown, prompting a shift toward integrated, cross‑government health strategies.
