'Visiting Bundang Seoul National University Hospital' Kim Dong-yeon: "Medical School Expansion Needed, But Methods and Procedures Are Wrong"

Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, stated that while the expansion of medical school quotas is necessary, the methods and procedures were not appropriate, and the issue should be resolved from the perspective of the people.

On the 28th, after visiting Bundang Seoul National University Hospital in Seongnam, Kim posted on his social media (SNS), saying, "The expansion of medical school quotas should be resolved through social dialogue," and pointed out, "The central government's push cannot solve the problem."

He continued, "Increasing the medical school quota is necessary, but the methods and procedures were not desirable," advising, "Since this is a long-accumulated structural problem, it should be pursued with a precise mid- to long-term plan."

Furthermore, he emphasized, "If the government truly has the will to solve the problem, it must engage in dialogue with an open attitude," and "Both the government and the medical community must resolve the issue from the perspective of patients and the people."
