South Korea doctors’ strike: Observers say reforms necessary, call for middle ground

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.” &nbsp,

DETERRING THE NORTH’S RISING Challenges

While Mr. Shin thinks a full-fledged war may not be in order, he claimed South Korea is prepared to deal with North Korean actions or penetration attempts.

The region, along with the US, is looking at unpleasant measures in response to the evolving challenges. &nbsp,

Important special operations leaders from South Korea and the US met last month to discuss ways to improve their special warfare skills. &nbsp,

They discussed employing special operations capabilities more aggressively rather than competitively, sharing operating doctrines, and improving the portability of weapons systems, said Mr Shin, who hosted the unusual appointment.

Both countries also spoke about how to take the systems of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, including artificial knowledge, and increase potential specific functional capabilities.

These tactics might be used for joint military exercises between Seoul and Washington this summertime. &nbsp,

” The general framework remains intact. The content of this model has been changed to concentrate on North Korea’s increased nuclear and missile threats, according to Mr. Shin. &nbsp,

” Also, new forms of war- such as hybrid war, mental warfare and grey zone provocations- have been incorporated into the exercises. This includes both government and joint military exercises, which makes a significant difference.

According to Mr. Shin, South Korea contributes to its close cooperation with the US by paying about US$ 2.7 billion annually to support American troops stationed there.
