A health care system that includes institutions such as the home, clinic, or hospital as well as interpersonal relationships between providers and receivers of health care is a part of any culture. Clinical issues are a part of all cultures, and cross-cultural comparisons are useful in understanding health care. With immigration and travel, a better understanding of the situation of families who have a child with cancer in various countries, different health care systems, and different cultures is needed. Understanding the situation for families with a child who has cancer in South Korea will lead one to a better understanding of a Korean family who has immigrated to the west and has a child develop cancer or is in need of treatment.
