Controversy over Park Na-rae's injection aunt, illegal medical practice by the doctors' association, and calls for a thorough investigation
When allegations were raised that broadcaster Park Na-rae (40) received medical services such as fluid injection treatment from a woman called 'Ju-Aunt', the medical community pointed out that "illegal medical practice".
The Korean Medical Association (Chairman Kim Taek-woo, hereinafter referred to as the Medical Association) urged the government and investigative authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and punishment, saying in a statement on the 8th that `violations of the Medical Law and Pharmaceutical Affairs Law that seriously threaten the public health.'
According to the Medical Association, domestic medical practice can only be performed by those who have obtained a license from the Minister of Health and Welfare.
Under the Medical Law, non-medical personnel without a medical license cannot conduct medical practice in Korea under any circumstances.
Accordingly, the Medical Association said "The act of this case is an illegal procedure different from the legal treatment performed by medical personnel, and the essence of it should not be blurred by visiting treatment. A negative procedure by an unverified and unqualified person cannot guarantee patient safety and can cause irreversible and serious harm to public health", he pointed out.
In addition, the Korean Medical Association explained that the use of psychotropic drugs such as clonazepam, which are prohibited from prescribing by proxy and non-face-to-face, and Trazodone, a specialty drug, were found in the case.
The medical association emphasized that "the investigation authorities should check whether the drug was delivered to non-medical personnel, whether it was a wholesaler leak, or whether there was an illegal proxy prescription by a medical institution, and thorough investigation and punishment should be conducted not only for those who have been confirmed to have illegal activities but also for supply measures participating in distribution."
In addition, the medical association pointed out that the incident shows a hole in the government's medical and drug management system.
In response, the medical association strongly urged the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to conduct ▲ voice illegal unlicensed medical practices ▲ illegal proxy prescriptions ▲ thorough supervision of psychotropic drug distribution management, and to take strict legal measures with zero tolerance if violations of the medical law and pharmacist law are confirmed.
At the same time, the Korean Medical Association pointed out that the risk of drug misuse and illegal medical practice is increasing due to the legislation of non-face-to-face treatment.
The Medical Association said "With this incident, the government should respect the opinions of the medical community and review the safety mechanisms of non-face-to-face treatment. In addition, in order to effectively monitor and purify illegal activities in the medical field, the Korean Medical Association, a group of experts, is given the right to self-discipline to improve the system to enable preemptive self-purification," he added.
