The government has initiated discussions to expand medication delivery to all patients using telemedicine services. Before the telemedicine system is fully implemented, the announcement of a full-scale drug‑delivery expansion triggered a coordinated response from the pharmacist community and civil society.
The Medical Privatization Prevention and Free Medical Service Realization Movement Headquarters announced a rally titled “Protest against expansion of telemedicine and drug delivery! Solidarity rally to stop medical privatization and protect public health rights.” The demonstration is scheduled for the 13th, from 12:00 to 13:30, on the road in front of Seoul’s Cheong Wa Dae (Blue House). Participants intend to condemn the policy push and call for protection of public health rights and the principle of free medication access.
