President Na’s Meeting with Park, Neunghoo, the Minster of Health and Welfare

The KHMU’s Call for a Special Body dedicated to Healthcare Personnel Issues

 

On September 8, the President Na Soon-ja at the Korean Health and Medical Workers’ Union met with the Minister Park, Neunghoo at the Ministry of Health and Welfare and called to establish a special body on healthcare personnel to resolve the low staffing level issues.

 

“Medical doctors collectively refused to see patients (strike), so, the government’s plan to increase medical students and establish public medical schools was held back at the moment. This rollback of the policy clearly brings about problems in many aspects. Hence, the policy should be revisited soon again, but, this time, Korean people, not only the medical doctors, should be a critical part of the discussions with their voices being heard at the society level, provided that the number of medical doctors should increase anyways,” said Na.

 

She put an emphasis on two suggestions in particular: ▲ increase the number of medical students in national and public medical schools ▲ expand the government’s budget to establish and reinforce public medical organizations.

 

She also pointed that nurses are driven to work on what medical doctors are supposed to do, that is, “illegal medical treatment” due to shortage of doctors, hence the problem should be solved as early as possible.
