On the 25th, the Gwangju Dongbu Police Station announced that they had sent office manager Kim (in his 50s) and oriental medicine doctor Park (in his 40s) to the prosecution on charges of violating the Medical Service Act and other offenses.


They are accused of jointly operating a manager-operated oriental medicine hospital in Nam-gu, Gwangju, from July 2011 to recently, and fraudulently receiving more than 7.2 billion won in nursing care benefits and medical benefits.


Before opening the hospital, they drafted a 'hospital joint management contract' agreeing to share hospital operating profits and shares, and were found to have operated the hospital illegally.


The Medical Service Act prohibits non-medical personnel from employing medical personnel or opening and operating hospitals under the name of medical personnel.



The police also referred 21 people, including hospital staff involved in illegal patient referrals and a taxi company sales manager, to the prosecution on charges of violating the Medical Service Act.
