President Yoon Suk Yeol visited hospitals in Seoul to show support for medical staff and reaffirm the government's commitment to implementing healthcare reform measures. The visit to the Seoul Medical Center and National Medical Center aimed to address concerns about potential disruptions in medical services due to a prolonged strike by trainee doctors. During the visit, Yoon emphasized the government's determination to carry out reform measures, including increasing the budget to support hospitals providing essential care and improving working conditions for medical professionals. The prolonged strike by trainee doctors has raised worries about potential disruptions in medical services during the upcoming Chuseok holiday. In response, the government has designated a special period and increased health insurance payments for hospitals operating during the holiday. President Yoon's visit to the hospitals aimed to reassure medical staff and underscore the government's commitment to healthcare reform, particularly in addressing the unsustainable workload faced by doctors responsible for essential care.
