He pointed out, "It is the government's arrogance that has led to this situation." Regarding the resignations of interns, resident doctors, and the suspension of medical students, Joo Su-ho clarified that the Medical Association did not call for collective action.
Joo Su-ho stated that the government's suppression of interns and resident doctors' basic rights has reached an unreasonable level. "While the right to life of the nation is important, the basic right to freedom of professional choice for doctors should also be respected."
In response to the Medical Association's "accusations," the Minister of Health and Welfare stated on the 22nd, "We strongly urge the cessation of statements causing collective unrest, (and hope) to solve the problem through discussions."
