Foreign health insurance surplus tops 1 tln won

Korea's national health insurance fiscal balance for foreigners posted a surplus exceeding 1 trillion won ($753 million) last year for the first time, according to data reported by the Korea Times and Yonhap. However, the account for Chinese nationals swung to a deficit, the reports note. The surplus is attributed to rising foreign contributions amid record tourist numbers, though the reports do not detail specific revenue or expenditure figures.
