Prime Minister Han "discussed the inclusion of patient groups in the ruling-opposition council"

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said he would discuss whether to involve patient groups in the "Youth-South Korean Council Council" to deal with the issue of increasing medical schools.

Prime Minister Han held a regular press conference at the annex of the Government Complex Seoul and said, "I think it is right to listen to the patients and discuss them in the council."

He also said that he wants the opposition party and the medical community to participate in the ruling-opposition party council, explaining that the difficulties patients say are areas that the government, which has to represent the public interest, should take care of.

In addition, he added that honest conversations with the medical community are needed as to whether they are seeking dialogue with the Korean Medical Association, and that various channels of dialogue are good.
