The Korean Medical Association said in a press release that `The current government has betrayed the trust of medical professionals and the public by attempting excessive medical manipulation, resulting in the impeachment of the president"We look forward to the end of the medical manipulation crisis that has lasted for more than a year, and hope that today will be a day like 'Cheongmyeong' that the sky will gradually clear up for the medical community."
In addition, with the citation of impeachment, we hope that the wrong medical policies promoted by the Special Committee on Medical Reform will be stopped, and the increase of medical schools and essential medical policy packages will be reasonably discussed again. We hope that this will provide a starting point for frustrated medical students and medical doctors to return to the medical and educational sites."
"We hope to accept the results of this sentence in accordance with the constitutional procedures in a mature manner, stabilize political turmoil and close social conflicts as soon as possible, and open the future of the Republic of Korea together as a democracy that has taken a step further," he added.
Today, the impeachment motion against Yoon Suk Yeol's president, who caused martial law, was handed down as the sky gradually cleared. This sentence, which was noted by our medical community and the people as well as the world, confirmed that democracy in the Republic of Korea is alive. In addition, we look forward to the end of the medical manipulation that has lasted for more than a year, and we hope that today will be a day like a blue moon for the medical community.
In February 2024, the Yoon Suk Yeol government unilaterally pushed ahead with the policy by suddenly announcing an increase of 2,000 medical students without an agreement with the medical community. As medical professionals and medical students who could not accept this left their respective positions, the government has been attacking the medical community intensively, demonizing the media, and cracking down on it through business commencement orders. In the end, he did not hesitate to declare illegal martial law and announce a decree to punish the residents.
The current government attempted excessive medical manipulation, betraying the trust of medical personnel and the public, and consequently caused the impeachment of the president. Related authorities, including the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, have not yet shown a responsible attitude. Due to the government's medical reform, medical care, which is directly related to the people's lives, is collapsing. The runaway leadership that belittles people's lives and threatens the safety of the country should be stopped. Public officials who served to enforce the wrong policy will also have to take responsibility.
With the citation of the impeachment, we hope that we will be able to stop the wrong medical policies promoted by the special committee on medical reform and reasonably discuss the increase in medical schools and essential medical policy packages. I hope this will provide a starting point for frustrated medical students and medical doctors to return to the medical and educational sites.
The current government should put the medical manipulation situation first for the rest of its term. In this process, it must be discussed with an expert organization, and I hope you will show a responsible attitude by preparing a forum for discussion for the normalization of medical care.
It has been a medical reality in Korea that has been maintained depending on the dedication and sacrifice of medical personnel. In a new era, we can no longer impose false customs and practices on young generations. A universal and valid law, system, and stable medical environment should be prepared so that doctors can be faithful to their mission to save people.
In addition, I hope that we will accept the results of this sentence in accordance with the constitutional procedures in a mature manner, stabilize political turmoil and close social conflicts as soon as possible, and open up the future of the Republic of Korea as a democracy.
