A bill to revoke a doctor's license was passed yesterday (19th) by the National Assembly's standing committee if a doctor was sentenced to an ideal type of safe for a crime.

Legislative proceedings still remain, but the medical association strongly protested and even warned of a general strike.

As previously mentioned, the COVID-19 vaccination will begin the very next week.

<Reporter> The



amendment to the medical law passed by the National Assembly Welfare Committee contains the content that if a doctor is sentenced to imprisonment or higher, the license can be revoked, and the license cannot be obtained again for five years after the sentence is terminated.



Its purpose is to get doctors who have committed violent crimes such as murder, robbery and sexual assault away from the medical scene.



Occupational negligence and fatality incurred during medical practice are not subject to license cancellation.



It was decided to have the same sanctions regulations as lawyers, public accountants, and legal counsel, but the Korean Medical Association strongly opposed it.



According to the amendment, it is an excessive punitive regulation, saying that if you receive an ideal type of safe in a car accident, your license will be revoked.



The Korea Medical Association declared that if the bill was passed on by the judiciary committee, it would engage in an all-out struggle, including a general strike.



At the same time, the threat was raised that if the general strike was realized, there would be a problem with the corona 19 vaccination.



[Daily House/President of the Korean Medical Association: Vaccination cannot be done unless the 16 provincial and provincial doctors are actively involved.

I cannot do the vaccination itself.

In response to the Corona 19 response, serious obstacles will inevitably result.] In



response to the backlash from the medical consultation, Democratic Party lawmaker Won-sik Woo criticized his social media as the worst collective egoism.



While the National Assembly Judiciary Committee is scheduled to discuss amendments to the medical law next week, there are concerns that the conflict between the government and the medical community over the establishment of a public medical school last year could be rekindled.
