At the 11th State Council meeting held in Sejong City on the 6th, President Yoon stated, “The doctors’ illegal collective action has been ongoing for more than two weeks,” warning, “Illegal collective action that infringes on the people’s right to life cannot be allowed under any circumstances.”

President Yoon continued, “The collective action of doctors is an act of abandoning their responsibilities, shaking the foundation of liberalism and the rule of law. The nation must protect public health under Article 36 of the Constitution, and doctors must comply with the law to prevent harm to public health.”

He further emphasized, “The state grants licenses to doctors and strictly manages them according to the law to protect the lives and health of the people. Therefore, with doctors’ freedom and rights come responsibilities.”

Lastly, President Yoon stated, “We have no choice but to respond sternly according to law and principle to the illegal collective action that threatens the lives of the people. The government will gather the strength of all departments to respond so that no danger occurs to the citizens.”

To fill the medical void, President Yoon announced that he would mobilize all resources and invest a reserve fund of approximately $108 million.

President Yoon is also expecting to chair the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (CDSC) meeting following the State Council meeting today.

Meanwhile, as the collective resignation of interns has been ongoing for more than two weeks, major hospitals nationwide have begun to operate on a reduced scale. As the number of patients has plummeted due to the departure of medical staff, some hospitals are even receiving unpaid leave applications from nurses and other employees.
