Citizens’ groups reveal plans to expand public medical services to the conservative People Power Party (PPP) candidate Yoon Sin-buchi, as major presidential candidates have announced policy commitments prior to the March 9 elections. I asked.
Yun’s health and medical pledge includes only problematic policies, such as a large hospital establishing a branch and allowing a public hospital to take care of Covid-19 patients. Last Friday, the right to health of the Korean Federation of Medical Activists.
The statement noted that there was no direction for the expansion of public health care.
“Instead of promising to expand the public hospital, Yun says he will turn the public hospital into a facility dedicated to infectious diseases,” he said. “As public hospitals have focused on treating Covid-19 patients over the past two years, the resulting medical disparities have sacrificed vulnerable classes, but Yun promised to harm poor patients. ing.”
The statement was strongly criticized for calling Yun’s medical pledge a failure because it only aims to expand the private health market and effectively abandons public medical care. “Conservative candidates who vow to bloat large private hospitals are blinded by the sadness of public health infrastructure,” he said.
The two citizen groups also pointed out that the expansion of private hospitals would not be sufficient to solve essential medical problems.
“Candidate Yun has promised to allow the establishment of a branch of a huge private hospital in the name of solving important medical problems in the area,” he said. “But it is very unlikely that a large private hospital will set up a branch in a vulnerable area, or if it does, the branch will rarely play a proper role.”
Both groups also criticized Yun for promising to provide financial incentives to private hospitals in charge of essential medical care without expanding beds for public purposes.
“But this doesn’t solve the problem of essential medical problems,” they said.
They then urged Yun to announce a policy platform for expanding health services, including strengthening health care workers.
“There are no promises to replenish the nursing workforce or plans to increase the number of doctors in Yun’s pledge. The medical community is complaining of extreme labor shortages, but he has not provided a solution.” “Given his campaign pledges, public health care will recede further, and as PPP takes political power, people’s lives will face a greater crisis.”
Emphasizing that profit- and critical situations should no longer be repeated, the group immediately withdrew Yun’s pledge to privatize the medical market under the guise of strengthening public medical care, truly protecting life and safety. Repeatedly asking for a pledge of medical services that could be done. Of the public.
“Voteors will scrutinize who will strengthen the public nature of health care and properly verify it in this election,” the statement said.
