[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Systematic efforts will be made to eradicate illegal pharmacies operating under borrowed pharmacist licenses.

The National Health Insurance Service Busan-Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters (Director Jang Su-mok) announced on the 10th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Busan Pharmaceutical Association on the 9th to eliminate illegal "license-lending pharmacies" operating under borrowed pharmacist licenses.

This MOU is a self-initiated measure by the NHIS to eradicate illegal pharmacy operations through voluntary cooperation, as the introduction of the NHIS's "special judicial police authority" has not passed the National Assembly.

The two organizations agreed to △ establish and operate a reporting center for suspected illegally established pharmacies △ maintain cooperative relations to eradicate insurance crimes such as illegal pharmacies △ carry out various activities such as education and publicity to eliminate illegal pharmacies.

Byun Jeong-seok, president of the Busan Pharmaceutical Association, said, "Through this agreement, both organizations hope to protect citizens' health and establish pharmaceutical order by responding to the continuously increasing insurance crimes such as 'license-lending pharmacies.'"
