# The Korean healthcare system
Korea uses 건강보험 (National Health Insurance), which covers most residents. At a clinic (의원) you pay a small fee; hospitals (병원) cost more.
Key phrase for receiving treatment: -을/를 받다:
- 치료를 받아야 해요. → I need to receive treatment.
For expressing cause: -(으)로 인해 (due to):
- 독감으로 인해 결근했어요. → I was absent from work due to the flu.
System navigation: 먼저 일반의에게 가세요 (First go to a GP), 전문의에게 소개받아야 해요 (You need a referral for a specialist), 응급실에 가야 해요 (I need to go to the emergency room).
The Korean health system is efficient — many appointments are same-day. Use 예약하다 to book in advance.
