[Breaking News] Government: "Collective Refusal of Medical Treatment is a Clear Illegal Act... Orders for Clinic Doctors to Provide Treatment and Report Closure"
The government criticized the Korea Medical Association (KMA)'s resolution for a collective strike on the 10th, stating that "a collective refusal to provide medical care abandons the ethical and professional duties of doctors who prioritize patients' lives" and called it "a clear illegal act."
Based on the Medical Service Act, the government announced that it would issue medical treatment orders and strike notification orders to private practitioners, and legally review whether the KMA's actions violate the Fair Trade Act.
The KMA held a nationwide doctors' representatives meeting the day before and resolved to carry out a one-day nationwide collective strike involving private practitioners on the 18th.
This will be the fourth nationwide doctors' collective strike, following those in 2000, 2014, and 2020.
