The cancer patient protection policy is a policy that reduces the burden of medical expenses for cancer patients through various support provided by the Korean government. Representatively, the national cancer management business provides some of the medical expenses for cancer patients.

If adult health insurance subscribers are diagnosed with cancer after undergoing a national cancer screening, they can apply if the amount of health insurance premiums paid by the caregiver as of January 1 of the relevant year meets the criteria for support 1. In addition, even if they are diagnosed with lung cancer, they are eligible for support.

Visiting treatment for cancer patients is being expanded through a pilot project. In addition, there are hospitals that provide non-face-to-face medical services in situations where COVID-19 is reluctant to visit hospitals.
