The medical association's collective strike is on the 18th... how to respond

The scale of the doctors' association collective strike is increasing.

 

It's a different level of fear compared to resigning as a resident.

 

Below is an excerpt from Yonhap News Agency:

 

According to the medical community on the 11th, major university hospitals, including the 'Big 5' hospitals, which are leading tertiary hospitals in Seoul, will suspend their medical services in line with the Korean Medical Association's full strike day on the 18th.

 

The Emergency Response Committee of the Catholic Medical School, which has Seoul St. Mary's Hospital as a training hospital, the Medical School of Sungkyunkwan University, which includes Samsung Seoul Hospital, and the Medical School of Ulsan University, which includes Seoul Asan Hospital, has resolved to participate in the full strike of the Korean Medical Association.

 

The Emergency Response Committee of the Yonsei University College of Medicine Professors' Council, which has Severance Hospital as its training hospital, did not hold a separate discussion about closing the hospital, but it is reported that most professors will participate in the closure on the 18th.

 

 

As an alternative from the Ministry of Health and Welfare

 

They said they would regulate illegal collective strikes.

 

Will this be effective?

 

The damage caused by medical gaps is directly felt.

 

Patients are receiving it.
