The Health, Welfare and Medical Coalition, composed of 13 organizations, including the Association of Doctors and the Association of Nursing Assistants, opposed the enactment of the Nursing Act, went on a partial strike urging the president’s veto.
Doctors and nursing assistants took annual leave or shortened medical treatment on the 3rd, and held a ‘Democratic Party Condemn Rally’ in front of the National Assembly Station in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
Participants in the condemnation rally held up pickets that read “Democratic Party Judgment” and “Abolition of the Nursing Act” and shouted slogans, “Abolish the Nurses Act, which gives preferential treatment only to nurses.”
The medical solidarity announced that if the president does not exercise his veto, there will be a second partial strike on the 11th and a general strike on the 17th.
