[앵커]
As the legislative conflict has continued for more than two months, medical school professors guarding the hospital have announced a series of closures due to fatigue.
There is growing concern about medical gaps.
I’ll put you in touch with the reporter.
Journalist Gwangbin Lim, the medical school professors have announced that they will actually resign starting tomorrow (25th), right?

Professors at major hospitals in the country are expected to begin the resignation process as scheduled starting tomorrow (25th).
The National Medical University Professors’ Emergency Response Committee, in which the nation’s top 20 medical schools participate, held a general meeting last night (23) and reiterated that the resignations will begin tomorrow.
Although Vice Minister of Health and Welfare Park Min-soo had previously rejected the resignation, stating, “Resignation is impossible unless the university president accepts it,” the professors stressed that they would proceed regardless of the policy of acceptance of the government’s resignation.
At the same time, medical school professors are also discussing taking a break.
The emergency committee said the professors’ mental and physical strength had reached its limit as they worked 70 to 100 hours a week.
First, each university will independently decide to close for one day next week, and whether to close regularly once a week will be decided at the ordinary general meeting on the 26th.
Many hospitals have already decided to reduce outpatient services and surgeries.
The emergency committee of the faculty council of Seoul National University’s medical school held a press conference some time ago and announced that they would suspend medical treatment for one day, the 30th.
At the same time, it was announced that a competition for documents would also be opened to establish a scientific and rational basis for the doctor’s garden.
The emergency committee of the Association of Medical Faculties of Ulsan College, which includes professors from Asan Medical Center in Seoul, also decided to take a break once a week starting from the 3rd of next month.
The emergency committees of Chungnam National University Hospital and Sejong Chungnam National University Hospital have decided to close every Friday starting this week, and the emergency committee of Wonkwang University Hospital has decided to stop operations surgeries every Friday starting from the 26th.
Although these hospitals have explained that they will continue to provide care and surgery to emergency and seriously ill patients, it seems inevitable that the medical gap will widen.
The government has expressed regret at the medical community, which has not responded to the negotiations and called for a “review from the beginning”, and has repeatedly called for participation in the special committee on medical reform, which is about to be launched.
The editorial staff has reported this so far. (june80@yna.co.kr)
