Aging Korea must put prevention first: GSK Korea chief

Gunnar Riediger, country president of GSK Korea, emphasized the need for South Korea to prioritize disease prevention as the nation becomes a super-aged society. With over 20% of Koreans now aged 65 or older, Riediger argued that healthcare systems should shift from reactive treatment models to proactive prevention strategies. He highlighted the importance of expanding adult vaccinations to improve quality of life and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Riediger pointed out that current systems are focused on treating illness rather than preventing it, calling for a transition toward 'healthcare systems' rather than 'sick-care systems.' His comments align with GSK's ongoing investments in preventive care and reflect his extensive experience in vaccine development and public health initiatives.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced discussion on healthcare policy reform without overtly favoring any political ideology.
