KMA Emergency Committee Executive Receives Final License Suspension Notice... First Case Since Confrontation

'Allegation of Violation of the "Collective Action Teacher Prohibition Order"'

The government has issued final license suspension orders to the executives leading the Korean Medical Association (KMA) Emergency Response Committee (ERC). This is the first case of license suspension since the announcement of the increase in medical school admission quotas.

Park Myungha, Chairman of the Organizational Strengthening Committee of the Korean Medical Association Emergency Response Committee, and Kim Taekwoo, Chairman of the Korean Medical Association Emergency Response Committee, are expressing their positions as they appear at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Public Crime Investigation Unit in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 12th to undergo police summons investigation.

According to Yonhap News and others on the 18th, Park Myung-ha, the KMA ERC Organization Strengthening Committee Chair, stated, "I have received the official notification of license suspension administrative action from the government." Kim Taek-woo, the KMA ERC Chair, also received the same administrative action notification.

Accordingly, Chair Park's medical license will be suspended for three months starting from April 15. The license suspension will be enforced with some time allowance after notification, considering previously scheduled medical appointments.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health and Welfare sent prior notification letters regarding the license suspension administrative action to Chair Kim Taek-woo and Chair Park Myung-ha last month. They became subject to administrative action on charges of violating the 'Order Prohibiting Incitement of Collective Action' by doctors.
