1. Governor conditionally approves Greenland International Hospital
Only foreigners allowed in four treatment areas
Governor Won Heeryong(원희룡) held a press conference on Wednesday to say that he was conditionally approving the opening of Greenland International Hospital.
He said that only foreigners will be allowed to use it, and in four areas: including dermatology, internal medicine, cosmetic surgery and family medicine. Also, National Health Insurance will not be accepted at it, so he said there will be no effect on the public medical treatment system.
He apologized that the decision was not in line with the results of public opinion polling in the issue.
