Jun 04, 2025
The Korean Medical Association (hereinafter referred to as the Medical Association) has asked the Lee Jae-myung government to make resolving the medical crisis a top national priority, such as preparing realistic measures for medical students and residents to return.
In a press conference held at the Korean Medical Association in Yongsan-gu, Seoul at 3 p.m. on the 4th, the Korean Medical Association said, `Now, Korea is facing an unprecedented medical crisis. This is a serious issue directly related to public health and national security, not limited to the medical community, he stressed.
At the same time, the medical association proposed three solutions: ▲ Make resolving the medical crisis a top priority in the state, ▲ Improve the poor medical education environment ▲ sufficient discussions with expert groups in the process of establishing and implementing medical policies.
The medical association asked "The problem of the return of medical students and medical doctors is a serious problem that needs to be resolved as soon as possible" and "Please come up with realistic and reasonable measures to help them return to the educational field and training hospital."
Chairman of the Korean Medical Association Kim Taek-woo said, `Especially for medical doctors who are serving in the military or waiting to serve in the military, we need a more careful approach"Our association believes that young people who responded to the call of the state should be able to return to the medical field without being penalized, and that there is a way to return."
In addition, the Medical Association said that `simply increasing the number of doctors will not improve future medical care.'"Intrinsic education and practical training are essential to protecting the future of K-medicine, which is the best in the world." And please create an environment in which doctors can take care of patients with pride.'
The medical association then explained "Since the medical field functions organically with numerous occupations intertwined, the medical policy dealing with it should also function organically. Therefore, medical policy should be established and implemented by reflecting the experience and knowledge of experts who know the medical field best, not tabletop public opinion," he stressed.
Chairman Kim Taek-woo hopes to discuss with the government the issues to come up with a medical policy that is in the best interest of the people through mutual respect and communication, rather than unilateral push"In addition, the business commencement order system, in which the side effects have already been confirmed along with the controversy over unconstitutionality, needs fundamental improvement."
Chairman Kim then added, "'Please make sure to create a country where everyone lives well together, a country that protects the lives and safety of the people, a country where legitimate rights are guaranteed.'"
