[서울=뉴스핌] Reporter Choi Hyun-min = It appears that doctors who protested against the government’s decision to increase the number of medical schools will take collective action.
Korean Medical Association
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the medical community on the 11th, the Korean Medical Association plans to switch to an emergency response committee system soon and prepare for collective action.
Once the emergency committee chairperson is elected and the emergency committee system is established, the method and timing of collective action will be decided.
If residents take collective action, it is likely to cause great confusion. A resident refers to a doctor who selects a specialty and trains at a teaching hospital to obtain specialist qualifications after obtaining a medical license. This is because they play a central role in each medical institution.
The Korean Residents’ Association (Daejeon Association), a medical residents’ organization, has been passive in expressing its position so far. However, after the government announced the number of reinforcements of ‘2,000’, he began to voice his opinion, saying, “This is too much of a number. We will seek all possible countermeasures” (Chairman Park Dan’s SNS on the 7th).
Daejeon Cooperative will hold an online extraordinary general meeting on the 12th, the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday, to discuss response plans, including whether to take collective action.
Residents at top general hospitals, including the so-called Big Five, Seoul National University Hospital, Severance Hospital, Samsung Seoul Hospital, Asan Medical Center, and Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, agreed to participate in collective action through their own survey.
The government’s stance is that it will take a hard-line response to doctors’ collective action movements.
Before announcing the scale of the increase in personnel, the Ministry of Health and Welfare had already decided on a policy of ordering workers to return to work immediately after a strike and disciplinary action if they do not comply. It has been reported that preparations have been completed to send orders to begin work (return to work) to individual residents in practical terms.
