Seven months have passed since the government announced the expansion of medical schools, but the majority of residents have not yet returned to the medical field.

The so-called 'emergency room hit-and-run', in which patients wander around looking for an emergency room because there is no emergency room that accepts them, is increasing, surgeries for seriously ill patients such as cancer patients are being postponed, and more and more university hospitals are suspending emergency room operations at night and during certain hours. There is also a diagnosis that it is a ‘crisis’ situation.

The government is steadfast in its determination to complete medical reform, saying that it is still at a manageable level, but how is the medical field actually going?

Today, on MBC's "Emergency Room 'Emergency'...K Medical in Crisis", People Power Party Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Eon-ju, Yonsei University Department of Health Administration professor Jeong Hyeong-seon, and Korean Medical Association spokesperson Choi Anna appeared to discuss the situation in crisis due to an emergency room emergency. We will look at the reality of K-healthcare and discuss what is most urgent to prevent medical reform from leading to a medical crisis.
