According to the 'Issuance Status', from 2018 to this year, 29 doctors who directly administered narcotics or administered narcotics to patients for non-medical purposes applied for re-issuance, and 8 were approved.
The approval rate is said to be 27.5%. Looking at the current status of medical license reissuance by year as of the date of disposition, there were two applications in 2018 and one application in 2019, all of which were approved.
