The President’s Office announced on the 27th, “Next year’s budget will be organized around the five major financial projects for medical reform and a special budget will be established for this purpose.”
Tae-yoon Seong, head of policy, said at a briefing at the Yongsan Presidential Office this morning, “The Yoon Seok-yeol government plans to invest national finances intensively by raising the priority in the medical field to the level of carrying out constitutional responsibilities such as security and public order.”
The five major financial projects are △ National responsibility system for resident training △ Establishment of a new medical development fund △ Expansion of financial support to maintain essential medical functions such as children’s hospitals △ Expansion of compensation resources to establish a medical accident safety net △ Strengthening the research function of regional base hospitals.
Director Seong said, “We will enhance the training of residents, promote appropriate treatment improvement so that they can focus on their training, and nurture them into competent experts,” adding, “In addition, investment to improve the quality of medical education will also be a priority.”
He explained, “We will establish a new regional medical development fund for long-term investment that reflects the characteristics of the region. Through this, we will foster regional base hospitals, small and medium-sized hospitals, and specialty hospitals and establish a human resources sharing system in the region.”
Director Seong said, “We will also significantly expand financial support to maintain essential medical functions such as children’s hospitals, burn treatment, and resin bonding,” and added, “There is not much demand and supply due to the low birth rate or the nature of diseases, but we will make new efforts such as expanding compensation for essential medical services that must be maintained.” “We will expand the incentive system,” he said.
He then said, “We will expand compensation resources to build a safety net for medical accidents,” and “We will also consider 50% government support for liability insurance deductibles for medical residents and raising the compensation limit for medical accidents in cases of force majeure and expanding the target.”
Director Seong said, “We will significantly expand the essential medical R&D (research and development) budget to strengthen the research functions of regional base hospitals that will lead future medical care and establish a cutting-edge bio ecosystem,” and added, “Medical reform, including these five essential medical financial projects, will be implemented.” “In order to provide solid support, we will establish a new special accounting for essential medical care and establish a stable financial support system,” he emphasized.
