This study aims to compare the healthcare status of South Korea and other member of the Organization for Economic Cooperationand Development (OECD) using the OECD health statistics 2021. We used the position value for relative comparison (PARC) index tomeasure the five elements of the healthcare system, demand, supply, accessibility, quality, and cost. For the statistical analysis,Mann-Kendall test was performed to examine the trend of the PARC values from 2000 to the most recent year. The results showedthat supply, demand, accessibility, and quality were above median than the OECD median and the cost was below median. In sectorssuch as primary care, health employment and mental health care were below median average. With these result, necessary steps fora sustainable healthcare should be taken into effort by policy makers.
