After 5 Announcements, an Internal Medicine Specialist Comes to Sancheong-gun Health and Medical Center

Hiring with an Annual Salary of 360 Million KRW, 2 Years of Employment

An internal medicine specialist at the Sancheong County Health and Medical Center in Gyeongnam will finally arrive after five rounds of announcements.

On the 17th, Sancheong County and Yonhap News reported that they have hired Dr. A, a specialist in internal medicine in his 60s.

Sancheong County Office, Gyeongnam.

Dr. A was selected during the fourth recruitment announcement but suddenly withdrew from the position after meeting with County Governor Lee Seunghwa.

At that time, it was reported that he gave up the job due to malicious comments on articles related to the specialist recruitment, such as "it's a slave contract" and "public officials interfere with medical treatment."

However, since the county could not find a suitable candidate afterward, they persuaded him by stating that "(the malicious comments) are completely unfounded rumors," and he agreed to work.

Dr. A, who runs a private clinic in the Chungcheong region, is known to have applied to fulfill his duties as a doctor and to serve the local community.

Dr. A will officially start working for two years from June 12, with the possibility of extending the term by two more years.

A county official said, "Until now, it was impossible to prescribe for high-risk patients in Sancheong, so patients had no choice but to go to hospitals in other regions. Now that is no longer necessary, and we feel much relieved."

Earlier, the county announced the recruitment of an internal medicine specialist five times since last November, offering an annual salary of 360 million won.
