[정치]The government rotates prospectively to resume national time … “From the public understanding”

[앵커]

The government is turning to giving medical students who have refused to take the national exam a chance to retake it.

Health and Welfare Minister’s candidate Kwon Deok-cheol, who recently attended a personal audience after Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, said the issue must be addressed to prevent the medical vacuum.

However, it is a huge burden to have a lot of negative public opinion.

At the hearing on candidates of the Minister of Health and Welfare, Kwon Deok-cheol, where the ruling and opposition parties continued to fight over the issue of securing the corona vaccine, issues related to the repetition of the national medical exam were also raised.

Independent Congressman Lee Yong-ho noted that as the crown crisis drags on, there is concern about the supply and demand for doctors.

[이용호 / 무소속 의원 : 코로나 일선 의료진들이 굉장히 지쳐있는 상태고, 또 의사 수급 문제도 사실 내년에 걱정이 많은 그런 상태인데요.]

In response, candidate Kwon was fortunate to say that what is commonly mentioned in government moves to expand public health care and legislative advice is the expansion of essential health care.

He also stated that the issue of retaking the national exam, which the medical students rejected, should be examined so that medical gaps do not occur.

[권덕철 / 보건복지부 장관 후보자 : 그런 걸(필수의료 확충) 좀 진행을 하려면, 의대 국시 문제도 그런 차원에서 의료공백이 발생하지 않도록 추진해야 한다고 생각이 됩니다.]

As there is a lot of public opinion on the impossibility of taking up the issue of equity, the clues are that it is a priority to seek the understanding of citizenship.

[권덕철 / 보건복지부 장관 후보자 : 여전히 반대가 많으시기 때문에, 그런 부분들은 제가 국민들께 충분히 좀 양해를 먼저 구하면서 또 국회와 같이, 당하고 같이 상의를 하도록 하겠습니다.]

This is a different future position than the previous one, when he nailed “there is no new proof.”

This change in the government’s position has been detected since last weekend.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun made a comment through a media interview to give medical students a chance to re-examine themselves.

[정세균 / 국무총리(지난 20일, KBS ‘일요진단 라이브’ 중) : 사실은 국민 여론 때문에 굉장히 신중한 입장이었는데, 조만간 정부가 현실적인 여러 가지 상황도 감안해서 조치를 취할 것입니다.]

But negative public opinion is a huge burden.

Although the fatigue of medical staff is increasing rapidly due to the prolonged crisis of the crown 19, the gaze of medical students who rejected the opportunity to reapply twice in opposition to the public health policy pushed by the government has not is good.

As such, if the Korean Medical Association and medical students do not show a clear stance on past rejecting behavior and allow the tests to be repeated, public opinion may face headwinds.
