FAIRER Supply OF Specialists
According to observers, more balance needs to be maintained in the transmission of doctors between specialties and locations.
Spend in some high-paying fields, such as plastic and cosmetic procedures, is much lower than in other high-paying fields, such as emergency, life-saving surgeries and specialist care.
Additionally, the gap in payment and facilities between urban and rural areas results in physicians frequently moving to more profitable positions in bigger places, leaving parts of the country in desperate need of specialists.
” An increase in the source of doctors may immediately solve the inequity issues,” said Prof. Kwon.
” But, without increasing the supply of doctors, the imbalances can never be resolved”.
In addition, the effects of the strike have also been felt by other branches of the medical sector.
When Ashley Kim, a student of care, accepted a position as a caregiver at one of South Korea’s largest hospitals in February.
But, the 24- yr- old has been left in purgatory as hospitals delay fresh hires due to the ongoing strike.
She told CNA, adding that she hopes the specialists will soon return to work,” First, I was excited after learning that I got the job, but then I am really waiting without knowing when I may began.”  ,
