[Financial News] The Emergency Response Committee of the Korean Association of Medical Residents welcomed the appointment of Jeong Eun-kyeong as the new Minister of Health and Welfare and requested the government to engage in sincere dialogue for the reconstruction of critical and core medical services.
The Daejeon Association Emergency Committee stated on the 22nd, "We sincerely welcome the appointment of Jeong Eun-kyeong as Minister of Health and Welfare and deeply appreciate the Ministry's expressed willingness to discuss improvements in the training environment and the guarantee of training continuity."

Furthermore, they expressed hope to "participate in the reconstruction of critical medical services through sincere dialogue and cooperation with the Korean Association of Medical Residents" and "look forward to practical communication with the newly appointed Minister of Health and Welfare."
