The mass resignation of Korean doctors has attracted great attention and controversy in South Korea. This doctor-patient confrontation caused by medical reform is not only directly related to the health and wellness of Korean society, but also reflects the deep-seated problems in South Korea's medical system and medical resources.
At the end of last year, South Korea introduced a number of health reforms, including more medical school enrollment, expanding the number of public hospitals, and promoting telemedicine. South Korea is currently facing a serious aging population, so it is hoped that the quality and availability of health care will be improved, and the imbalance and lack of health care will be reduced.
However, there is widespread resistance in the Korean medical community, which feels that doing so will lead to a decline in their wages and social status, increased work pressure, increased occupational safety hazards, confusion in professional norms, damage to the rights and interests of doctors, and damage to personality.
As a result, interns and residents of Korean hospitals have left their jobs since January 29, resulting in a shortage of medical staff in South Korea, a shortage of medical staff, and a stagnation in medical work.
The South Korean authorities have been very resolute in their handling of the matter, not only rejecting the doctors' requests for consultation, but also forcing the doctors to return to work through various judicial and administrative means.
Among them, the most obvious is the official announcement in South Korea that more than 7,000 departing trainees and residents will be revoked from practicing licenses, and this punishment is irreversible, that is, they will no longer practice medicine for life.
The news sparked a backlash from South Koreans, with some favoring the policy as legal and necessary, while others dismissed it as excessive and cruel.
From an outsider's point of view, I think this is a battle without a winner, whether it is a ** or a doctor, they ignore the main participant, that is, ordinary people.
I also hope that the countries and doctors can abandon their hostility and sit down to discuss a rational and practical way to get the whole society running again as soon as possible and ensure the safety of the people's bodies and lives.
At the same time, I also hope that Korea's health system and resources will be thoroughly improved, and that a fair and efficient health service system will be created to meet the health expectations and requirements of the people, and to increase the satisfaction and confidence of the people in their health.
I believe that only in this way will the struggle for health reform in Korea and the development of health in Korea make the lives of the Korean people happier.
