Hong Jun-pyo: "Medical populism producing third-rate doctors, resistance is the right of medical professionals" View original image

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo supported the strike of medical residents, stating that "resisting medical populism that produces third-rate doctors is the natural right of medical professionals."


On the 28th, Hong said on Facebook, "The claims of the medical community have merit."



He added, "Unlike increasing the number of legal professionals, increasing the number of doctors who handle the lives of the people should not be pushed recklessly but should be implemented after thoroughly listening to the opinions of the medical community and securing excellent medical personnel." He further stated, "Pushing measures to produce third-rate doctors like pushing real estate crash measures is a reckless decision based solely on the 180 seats."
