President Lee Jae‑myung addressed the introduction of abortion medication during a citizen‑group meeting at the Blue House on April 4. He noted that the Ministry of Health and Welfare and women's groups are discussing the issue.
Lee said the plan envisions a two‑year period during which the medication would be prescribed and dispensed within hospitals. After that period, the system would transition to hospital prescription with dispensing through external pharmacies.
The remarks suggest that the regulatory framework for abortion medication is moving beyond approval toward concrete implementation steps in South Korea.
