[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party's preliminary candidate for Seoul mayor, demonstrated her characteristic drive by forming an advisory committee composed of experts in the relevant field just one day after a policy discussion.

On the 17th, Park's campaign announced that they had launched a healthcare advisory committee with experts who participated both in-person and remotely during the fourth policy announcement, "Seoul's Great Transformation - One-Stop Healthcare," which was revealed the previous day. The purpose is to shift the focus of medical services from hospitals to patient-centered care and to receive expert advice on creating a "Global Bio Cluster."

Park's healthcare advisory committee includes proportional representative Lee Su-jin, Shin Hyun-young, former Severance Hospital director Jung Nam-sik, Korea University Hospital professor Park Jong-hoon, Seoul National University urology professor and Korean Society of Urologic Oncology president Kwak Cheol, Seoul National University professor Noh Dong-young, National Cancer Center graduate school professor Park Jung-won, Severance neurosurgery professor Ha Yoon, and Kim Byung-in, director of Injeong Hospital.

Additionally, Professor Je Hwan-jun of Seoul National University Radiology, Professor Geum Woong-seop of Yonsei Medical Center, Vice President Cha Ga-hyun of the Seoul Dental Association, Vice President Choi Moon-seok of the Korean Oriental Medicine Association, Chairman Ko Do-il of the Seoul Metropolitan Hospitals Association, Senior Vice President Choi Yong-seok of the Seoul Pharmaceutical Association, Chairwoman Park In-sook of the Seoul Nursing Association, Chairwoman Kwak Ji-yeon of the Seoul Nursing Assistant Association, and former president Kim Sook-hee of the Korean Medical Association Seoul Chapter also agreed to participate.

These advisory members either attended Park's healthcare policy announcement event, "21-Minute Compact City? One-Stop Healthcare City," in person or participated remotely. Notably, through a Q&A session, they provided Park with advice on healthcare from various perspectives. Thus, they became advisory members just one day after forming this connection.

They will support Park's policy formulation and implementation going forward.

The advisory members stated, "We accepted the advisory roles because we agree that the discussion process of Park's '21-Minute Seoul - One-Stop Healthcare' pledge is very necessary for the development of Seoul's medical services."
