[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Carelabs is on the rise. It appears that the news of the Korea Hospital Association supporting the introduction of telemedicine has had an impact.
As of 9:41 AM on the 5th, Carelabs was trading at 18,950 KRW, up 3.55% (650 KRW) compared to the previous trading day.
The Korea Hospital Association announced yesterday that, amid the full-scale utilization of remote video technology triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, it agreed on the necessity of telemedicine from the perspective of enhancing public convenience. However, it set the prerequisite that even if telemedicine is introduced, basic principles such as ▲ face-to-face consultation for first-time patients ▲ appropriate selection of target diseases ▲ prevention of sudden patient concentration must be strictly maintained.
