The Blue House said on the 15th: “There is a plan to promote the establishment of a non-face-to-face medical treatment system” regarding the plan to temporarily allow remote medical treatment between doctors and patients. From the perspective of the ‘expansion review’ that came out in the past, it is one more step with ‘building promotion’. However, instead of telemedicine, the expressions ‘not face-to-face care’ and ‘not face-to-face care’ were used as if they were aware of the backlash from progressive camps, such as civic groups.

A key Blue House official met with journalists this afternoon and said: “There is an urgent need for the government to establish a face-to-face healthcare system to protect the safety of patients and medical personnel in the crown situation19 that continues to persist. and preparing for the second pandemic expected in the future. ” “There is a plan to promote the establishment of a face-to-face healthcare system,” he said.
