Minister Cho added, ″Even if we increase the number of medical schools now, it will take more than 10 years to put them into the field, so we will improve working conditions so that doctors can go to areas where there are no doctors on their own through reasonable compensation.”
Regarding medical fees, Minister Cho also said, “Our country is implementing a ‘fee-for-service system’ in which more money is earned the more medical treatment is done.” I did.
