[Breaking] Ministry of Health and Welfare Warns Medical Community Against Distorting Government Data and Urges Restraint in Indiscriminate Data Disclosure

On the 13th, the Ministry of Health and Welfare stated regarding the medical community's intention to disclose materials related to the increase in medical school admissions submitted by the government to the court, "It can only be seen as an attempt to pressure the judiciary through public opinion warfare and obstruct a fair trial," and added, "We urge restraint in indiscriminate disclosure of materials."

At a briefing held after the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters meeting on the same day, Park Min-su, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said, "Regarding the appellate trial filed by the medical community demanding a suspension of the increase in medical school admissions, the government carefully prepared and submitted the materials requested by the court on the 10th," adding, "However, the opposing party's representative has announced plans to distribute the materials through a press conference, and there is a high risk of distortion as only parts are emphasized while the full content is omitted."

Vice Minister Park added, "If the opposing party has any objections to the materials submitted by the government, they can submit them through the litigation process," and said, "We hope that indiscriminate disclosure of materials will be refrained from at least until a decision is made within this week so that the court can make the fairest judgment without any interference or burden."
