On the 8th, Gyeonggi Province appointed Lee Pil-su, former president of the Korean Medical Association, as the director of Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center, and Kim Min-cheol, former member of the National Assembly, as the director of the Gyeonggi Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency.


Lee Pil-su, director of Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center, has served as the administrative director of Baek Rehabilitation Hospital, president of the Jeollanam-do Medical Association, and president of the Korean Medical Association, and is currently serving as a member of the advisory committee of the Korean Red Cross Society.


Kim Min-cheol, director of the Gyeonggi Market and Commercial District Promotion Agency, has worked as an administrative officer in the Presidential Secretariat, as a secretary to a member of the National Assembly, and participated in the 21st National Assembly’s Special Committee on Budget and Accounts and the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee.


After presenting the appointment letters, Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province urged Director Lee, saying, "The medical crisis has caused great anxiety among the residents," and asked him to "take good care so that the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center can properly fulfill its role in public healthcare."


He also told Director Kim, "It is reassuring that you have taken on this important role amid the severe difficulties faced by small business owners due to the economic downturn," and requested him to "carefully look after the small business owners."



Meanwhile, it is reported that Gyeonggi Province pushed forward with the appointments because the Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center is currently operating under an emergency management system due to overlapping medical crises and management issues, and the appointments of the directors of the six hospitals under the medical center also need to proceed sequentially, making it difficult to delay the appointments any further.
