[Breaking] Government: "Demand to Completely Cancel Medical School Expansion Does Not Help Resolve the Situation"

On the 22nd, the Ministry of Health and Welfare urged the medical community, stating, "Despite the government's flexibility and repeated proposals for dialogue, engaging in collective action demanding the complete cancellation of medical school expansion does not help resolve the current situation," and repeatedly requested, "Please participate in the 'Special Committee on Medical Reform meetings' and express your opinions."

The government will hold the first meeting of the 'Special Committee on Medical Reform' this week and will actively promote medical reform. The committee consists of a private sector chairperson, government members from six ministries, and 20 private sector members. The private members will include representatives from the medical community, consumer groups, and experts from various fields to ensure balanced participation from all sectors.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare said, "We also urge the Korea Medical Association and resident doctors to attend the Special Committee on Medical Reform and express their opinions."
