The northern border is known as the DMZ (demilitarized zone) it is the most heavily armed border in the world. At 2.5 miles wide and 150-miles long the heavily mined and guarded area has served as a buffer zone since the cease fire in 1953.(3) The united States helps to guard the DMZ and protect the ROK with approximately 30,000 troops and an arsenal of military equipment. The country of South Korea is unable to maintain their own Nuclear weapons and relies on the US Militaries nuclear weapons program to match North Koreas Nuclear weapons program. Although the ROK army is well equipped and well trained it lacks the sheer numbers and nuclear capabilities to match North Korea. Therefore the ROK relies heavily on the United States military assistance. However with the ROK’s consistent progression and strong economy it’s only a matter of time before the ROK will no longer need the help of the USA. (4)

Universal healthcare is known to be a luxury in most counties. However, in North Korea where the economy is continually struggling, universal healthcare is a disaster. The communist country has major commitments to education and healthcare which both failed once the economy crumbled.

Following WWII and the Korean War, access to care in military facilities became less available by civilians and active-duty personnel due to a lack of resources, or a constraint of them, and growing demands on the system, and “space-available basis” was first addressed. As a solution, Congress passed the Dependents Medical Care Act in 1956 and the Military Medical Benefits Amendments in 1966. Such acts allowed the Secretary of Defense to work with civilian health care providers and contract their services. This health civilian health care program became known as the CHAMPUS in 1966.

The TMA consists of a contract-structure between several large health insurance corporations to provide claims processing, customer service and other administrative functions to the TRICARE

Health care is regarded as one of the leading cause in promoting not only physical and mental health but the well-being of the population. Legislation is implemented requiring government to offer services to all members of its society. The role of health services and the organizations that provide aid is to focus on the health of an individual and to uphold their human rights. According to WHO (2013), a “well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism, a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce, reliable information on which to base decisions and policies, and well maintained facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies (World Health Organization; 2013).

Navy medical personnel were able to stabilize and treat most casualties and perform minor surgery, but the more serious cases were medevaced to other treatment facilities in Japan or in the continental United States. A five-story, concrete building, located on Tran Hung Dao, was the Navy’s only hospital. From the day it opened, it began to receive American combat casualties directly from the field. In 1964, the Navy assigned Lieutenant Commander Bobbi Hovis, one of the first Navy nurses to volunteer for service in Vietnam, to Saigon. With her commanding officer and fellow nurses, Hovis helped set up Station Hospital Saigon. As she settled into the daily routine of providing medical care to U.S. military personnel, the security situation in South Vietnam’s capital changed dramatically.
