On the same day, Minister Cho visited Bundang Lusk Rehabilitation Hospital in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province. The purpose was to hear the voices of various professions working together in the nursing and integrated care hospital, including nurses, nursing assistants, caregivers, and physical therapists.
Minister Cho stated, "Services that the public truly demands, such as the nursing and integrated care system, can only be completed when the various caregiving professions trust and cooperate as 'one team.' This applies not only within medical institutions but also outside, such as in long-term care facilities and the homes of patients and the elderly."
He added, "I am also concerned that conflicts between professions may arise within the nursing and integrated care services due to the National Assembly's approval of the Nursing Act."
