On the day, Deputy Governor Choi emphasized ▲ resolving regional medical inequality ▲ the necessity of establishing a medical school in Changwon Special City and expanding consensus.

He stated, “It is urgent to expand the number of doctors, which is insufficient compared to the national average, to resolve medical inequality,” and argued, “Changwon, the only non-capital region city with a population of one million without a medical school, must establish one.”

He appealed, “Please unite all residents to establish a medical school in Changwon so that local talent does not leave the region.”

Deputy Governor Choi said, “This forum was organized to gather the capabilities of residents and spread our province’s determination to significantly increase medical school quotas and promote the establishment of a medical school to build a medical safety net for residents. Based on the opinions discussed at this forum, we will focus our administrative capabilities on policies to attract talent through the establishment of the medical school and improve the quality of regional medical services.”
