Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea, has pledged to revise the medical law and change the name of "Obstetrics and Gynecology" to "Women's Health Medicine" today (22nd).

On this day, Candidate Lee announced the above-mentioned content as the eleventh pledge of "little but sure happiness" through his Facebook page.

Candidate Lee said, "It is extremely difficult for unmarried women to go to 'obstetrics and gynaecology 'because of the prejudice that it is for married women, going through pregnancy and childbirth." According to the results of the survey, more than 80% of unmarried women answered that "they are hesitant with obstetrics and gynecology compared to general hospitals."

He continued, "The name" Obstetrics and Gynecology "is an anachronistic perception that women's diseases are still called" women's diseases", he said "Because of this, underage and unmarried women are still unable to cure their illnesses."

Candidate B said, "In the past, in order to improve awareness of medical treatment subjects, we have changed "paediatrics" to "paediatrics and youth" and "psychiatry" to "mental health medicine". "We will prepare to prevent confusion at the site."

He also promised, "Starting with the name change, we will build a medical environment that all women can use with peace of mind and easily, regardless of marriage, childbirth, or age."

On the other hand, when written in Korean Hangul, "female" and "wife" cannot be distinguished. In addition, the "President" that candidate Lee is aiming for is also a Japanese-made Chinese word made in Japan. That became the Korean word “taetonryong (president)”.
