Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for improving the national health screening program in Korea by researching foreign health screening programs. Methods: We reviewed laws and regulations related to health screening programs in Japan, Germany and the United States. And we searched Riss4u, Google Scholar, and Pubmed. Results: Japanese, German, and American institutions were compared. Unlike Korea, Japan and Germany had penalties that imposed heavy fines on employers for not conducting health checkups. Conclusion: Like Japan and Germany, there is a need for a system that imposes fines rather than fines for not performing health check-ups. And in order to prevent lifestyle-related diseases, which are representative of cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to re-evaluate the tests that have been reduced or eliminated from the national health screening program.
