◀ Anchor ▶

The judge’s decision, which will be the solution in the conflict between politics and politics, will be made this week.

That is why the court in charge of the stay of execution case to stop the ‘increase in the number of medical schools’ shows more interest in the ‘supporting data’ obtained by the government over the weekend.

MBC received and looked at the data submitted by the government.

It was on February 6 that the government first mentioned the size of the increase in medical schools next year as ‘2,000 students.’

“Starting from the school year 2025, the number of students in the medical school will be increased by 2,000, from the current 3,058 to 5,058.”

Minister Cho proposed this plan at the Health and Medical Policy Review Committee meeting he chaired just prior to the announcement.

According to the minutes of the meeting obtained by MBC, Minister Cho proposed increasing the number of doctors by 2,000 from the 2025 school year, based on the forecast that the current shortage of 5,000 doctors will decrease to 10,000 by 2035.

When the specific size of the reinforcement suddenly appeared from the mouth of the minister, some members of the committee made angry comments.

One committee member criticized, “They will make a unilateral announcement at this meeting without an expert committee or discussion, and they will say that there are 2,000 people at the meeting after the meeting, so what’s the point there?”

He went on to say, “I think we have to consider whether the number of 2,000 was meant to be symbolically increased.”

Another member of the committee mentioned the Joan University School of Medicine, which caused great confusion for other schools that took over the garden when it closed in 2018, and expressed concern that it would have the same result of creating a surplus on 20 such schools.

Among the 49 documents relating to the ‘medical school expansion’ which the government submitted to the court the day before yesterday, the summary of the review’s deliberations is the only document that specifically mentions on ‘2,000 people’.

The Medical Affairs Council, which was engaged in a war of nerves with the medical community over whether they should have meeting minutes and whether they should write them, only issued press releases to the media. .

“With the exception of one or two, almost all of them were news articles that had already been released to the media, and press releases and press briefings distributed by the government to the media.”

The three allocation committee meetings that distributed the larger number of students to each university only produced summaries without the originally promised list of attendees, and even in these meetings, co- decisions on key issues such as the maximum number of students for each university. without registration.
