Rejection of proposal for the Legislative Council … “Avoidance of responsibility, without sincerity”
The medical association issued a statement on the 29th and said: “At the time of the medical consultation, we cannot accept the proposal of the legislative council without a resolution, and to prevent the catastrophe of the health system, we gather the will of all the medical professions , as professors, physicians, practitioners and service physicians, and we responded with forceful actions. I am going out. ”
Kim Dae-ha, spokesperson for the medical association, said: “First of all, I have doubts that the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare is not only willing to solve this problem, but also does not have the capacity.” He added: “The future response will be discussed with the focus on the Pan-Medical Fighting Committee, which is being expanded and reorganized.”
Before this, the second deputy minister of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Gang-tae, suggested that a legislative council be formed before the medical council requests the government to solve the problem of medical students through a lunch held in a restaurant in Sejong city.
◇ The following is the full text of the Korean Medical Association’s position on the National Medical Examination.
Last summer, there was a general strike to fight the promotion of unilateral government policies, such as the establishment of a public medical school and the expansion of the medical school grounds, so on September 4 the government tried overcome Crown 19, including suspension of policy with the Korean Medical Association. It has been agreed to develop support measures for the protection of medical personnel and medical institutions, and the resolution of medical problems through a council.
This agreement recognized the problem of the process by which the Ministry of Health and Welfare never sought the opinion of the Korean Medical Association and pushed the policy unilaterally. Therefore, it is also the government’s job to correct the damage that the medical community endured in the process of legitimately protesting and expressing opposition to the wrong policy.
However, the problem of taking this year’s national exam for medical students who made the problem of wrong policy widely known by suspending from school, which is the most powerful way to express your opinions from the point of view of the students, it is not solved yet. This is due to the evasion of responsibility by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the party that caused the situation.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare was initially questioning the medical students’ intentions to apply, but when the students declared their return, they changed their position and demanded an apology. Recently, the health care policy officer even brought up a promise to prevent repeat group action. On the surface, they ask medical students to apologize, but in fact, they want to receive an apology from the medical community and the Korean Medical Association.
The problem is that, while the Ministry of Health and Welfare amuses itself with the cowardly evasion of responsibility and the sneaky hostage game, an unprecedented gap of 2,700 new doctors has emerged. Only about 10% of the doctors who are scheduled to be discharged will be put into the field, causing great chaos that has never been experienced.
The murderous workload is said to have improved slightly due to the application of the Elders’ Law, but the reality is that the average working day of the elderly is still more than double that of other occupations. As such, it is difficult to realistically replace the gap in the main one. In this situation, if 90% of the doctor’s staff disappears per year, the shock will not only last for many years, but will also have a direct negative impact on the quality and quantity of medical services provided to patients, as well. as in the increase in the workload and the deterioration of the training environment. I have to go crazy.
What is even more concerning is the recent increase in medical disputes and criminal penalties, as well as the indispensable medical treatment that received a “ death sentence ” amid intense declarations of public goods and intense actions during the strike and prosecutions during the strike. It is that the field will again be ‘criticized’ for the influence of this vacuum. This is because if a vacancy begins to arise in a situation where work is heavy and difficult, there is a high possibility that the applicant will be interrupted later.
In other words, the national examination of medical students should be solved not for individual medical students, but for the maintenance of the health system and the rights to health of the people. However, it is not a job abandonment that the Ministry of Health and Welfare is dedicated to the fight for pride with the medical world without countermeasures for the expected problems. What will the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare say when there is great confusion in March next year? Will I repeat the words to apologize again?
The Korean Medical Association has been asking the Ministry of Health and Welfare to cancel the decision, but has come to the conclusion that it is already difficult to have expectations. Any other dialogue with the irresponsible Ministry of Health and Welfare, who does not mind the seemingly anticipated confusion in the health system, does not make sense to humiliate and discourage those who are about to discuss the policy. It should be noted that the legislative council’s proposal to start the meeting and postpone the responsibility for it is also unacceptable.
The Korean Medical Association reveals that it will bring together the will of all medical professions, such as professors, leading physicians, practitioners, and service physicians, and respond with vigorous action to prevent the anticipated confusion in the field, the collapse of essential medical care, and the catastrophe of our health care system.
