Cover Story: Unmet healthcare needs (UHN) globally exacerbate health issues, inflate treatment costs, and may lead to irreversible conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic likely worsened UHN by limiting healthcare access through widespread social distancing and quarantine measures, especially during the initial wave. Policies targeting UHN predominantly focus on vulnerable groups like the elderly. This study examined UHN disparities in the elderly Korean population (aged 65+) before and during the first year of the pandemic. The findings underscore the necessity of tailored, sustainable healthcare policies catering to the unique healthcare needs of this demographic, extending beyond the pandemic. View this paper
