South Korean Prime Minister meets with directors of five major hospitals... ”Persuade the specialist doctor to 'return'”

South Korean Prime Minister Han Deok-soo met with the directors of five major hospitals on the 29th and said, ``Hospital directors, who are always on the front lines with specialized doctors and professors, have a role in creating a forum for dialogue in the medical community.''
I want you to do that,” he asked. On this day, Prime Minister Han met with the directors of five major hospitals: Samsung Seoul Hospital, Seoul University Hospital, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Seoul Asan Hospital, and Severance Hospital.
``Despite the government's continued efforts to engage in dialogue with the medical community, a dialogue body has not been formed,'' he said at the meeting. Prime Minister Han said, ``The government is implementing a system of national responsibility for the training of specialized doctors and responsibility for specialized doctors.''
We plan to actively invest in improving the treatment of major doctors through government funding for health deduction fees, etc., and emphasized that such a process requires consultation with major doctors, who are the parties to the policy.
He went on to say, ``I believe that hospitals are facing considerable financial difficulties due to the reduction in medical treatment due to collective action (strike) by specialized doctors,'' and added, ``If the gap in medical treatment at the five major hospitals widens further, the people will be unable to receive medical treatment.''
"It will not only be an inconvenience to the hospital, but it will also cause great psychological anxiety," he said. "We need to work together with the government to come up with a concrete plan for financial investment so that the resident doctors can return to work as soon as possible," he said.
"I hope that the government will be able to persuade medical residents to return to hospitals," he said, reiterating his request.
