[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The National Health Insurance Service is launching a crackdown on 'illegal pharmacies.'


The Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters of the National Health Insurance Service signed a business agreement with the Ulsan Pharmaceutical Association on the morning of the 17th to establish a sound pharmaceutical order.


This initiative aims to protect pharmacists from damages caused by 'myeondae pharmacies,' which operate by borrowing pharmacist licenses, and to prevent the leakage of health insurance finances, thereby safeguarding the public's health rights.


The main points include ▲establishing and operating a reporting center for suspected illegally established pharmacies ▲maintaining cooperative relationships to eradicate insurance crimes such as illegally established pharmacies ▲conducting preventive activities such as education and publicity to eliminate illegally established pharmacies.



Jang Su-mok, the head of the regional headquarters, stated, “Both organizations will do their best to eradicate illegally established pharmacies that threaten medical order and will expand preventive education activities for novice pharmacists who may be deceived by myeondae pharmacies.”
