초록

The physical and psychological right to health in the Korean Constitution is Fundamental human right. However, there are still the underprivileged people like foreign workers who have financial difficulties and little medical benefits in Korea, which does not meet the social demands of heal and medical care. International law asks every country to care for the health of foreign workers who reside within its own domain. Korean medical laws require medical institutions like hospitals or clinics and doctors in the maternity and dental clinics not to refuse medical treatment with no probable cause. They provide that the institutions and doctors should take the best measures for emergency patients.
This study proposes health and medical strategies based on earlier studies of the health and medical aid service for foreign workers and the present conditions and problems of it as follows.
First, It is necessary that various health and medical strategies for foreign workers or immigrant laborers should be designed from the standpoint of the long-term and integrated situation.
Second, we need to prepare measures for uninsured people and rationalize insurance premiums or fees of medical insurance subscribers.
Third, we need to improve the quality of medical service through physical examination not as group practice but as precautions.
Fourth, it requires to keep a close relationship and persistent supporting between medical institutions and private organizations.
Fifth, to prevent industrial accidents of foreign workers, we need to set an institutional apparatus and the safety and health management practices, unlike the ones for Korean workers, which are commensurate with various labor and environment.
Sixth, workers infected by contagious disease are rather deprived of all their rights than benefited by Korean medical laws, so we need to take the necessary measures to prevent violation of human rights and deprivation of the right to health.
Seventh, from a long-term perspective, we need to found the hospitals for foreign workers in certain districts and provide translators of various languages for them.
