Only 4% of Seoul University Medical School and Hospital professors are forced to resign... ”We want to protect patients” = Korea

The majority of professors at Seoul National University's College of Medicine and Hospital have expressed their intention to remain by the side of patients. The Seoul National University College of Medicine and Hospital Emergency Response Committee launched its third emergency response committee system on the 4th.
The results of a survey conducted over 24 hours from the 3rd of this month, in which 467 professors from the hospital participated, were released. The overwhelming majority, 96.5%, said they wanted to stay by the side of patients.
70.9% answered that it was difficult to maintain their current practice, and 24.3% said they would maintain their practice in the future, but 5.6% said they would have to reduce their practice because it was difficult.
63.5% of respondents said they would not accept the decision, while 7.4% said they were considering leaving the hospital because it was too difficult. 3.5% said they would go ahead with their resignation.
The emergency response committee also issued a declaration outlining its future direction of activities based on the results of an emergency symposium held on the 30th of last month.
The emergency response committee said, "It is the government's role to implement the right policies. The government will immediately rescind the medical examinations for medical residents and students."
"I hope that this will remove the fear that many people have and provide an opportunity for them to return to work and school," he said. "I also hope that doctors will proactively take action in all areas to protect the lives and health of the people."
"It is also the government's responsibility to make changes to ensure that workers can work effectively, receive proper financial compensation through improvements to the medical system, and avoid the risk of legal action," he added.
The emergency response committee said, "We hope that Korea's medical system will improve as soon as possible. Even now, we need to create the right medical system that everyone desires, where patients, medical consumers, specialists and residents can all be happy.
We will take it one step at a time to create the stem," he emphasized.
