On the 19th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that it will consider additional compensation for high-difficulty surgeries in severe pediatric fields such as pediatric cancer and pediatric surgery, taking the difficulty level into account. The matter will be discussed and decided at the Health Insurance Policy Deliberation Committee in March.



The Ministry stated, "We plan to quickly expand the supplementary public policy fees not only to childbirth and pediatrics but also to surgery, emergency care, and other areas where fair compensation is needed."
