This study aims to understand the system and policy history of Korean medicine in North Korea. This study is based on previously published studies on the history of Koryo medicine in North Korea. We have searched for policy documents that are thought to contain important policy contents for Koryo medicine. The history of Koryo medicine from liberation to the present is divided into four periods. The 1st period is “the time to set the direction of Koryo medicine” (1945-1956), the 2nd period is “the time to transfer Koyo medicine to health care” (1957-1972), and the 3rd period is “the time to expand the health care of Koyo medicine” (1973 -1993), the 4th period is “the period of re-establishment of the role of Koryo medicine” (1994-present). The North Korean regime has made the policy direction of combining Koryo medicine with modern medicine, improving Koryo medicine production, and modernizing Koryo medicine. The Kim Jong-un regime tried to develop Koryo medicine in terms of knowledge economy and informatization.
