Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to reflect upon the process of the legislation of the National Medical Services Law for traditional Korean medicine practitioners (TKM practitioners), especially at the Assembly plenary session of 1951.
Methods: Various primary sources related to the legislation were examined, especially those in National Assembly Records and newspapers.
Results: In 1950, the National Assembly wanted to establish the National Medical Services Law (ÏÐÚÅì¢ÖûÛö) replacing the colonial medical services law (ðÈàØì¢ÖûÖµ), but it ended in failure. So in 1951, the National Assembly tried again. First, legislator Han Gukwon (ùÛÏÐê¹), with 83 other legislators, introduced a bill for the new national health care system. The Society and Health (ÞäüåÜÁËíêÍê¬üå) and the Legislation and Judiciary subcommittees (Ûöð¤ÞÉÛöêÍê¬üå) deliberated on this bill, and each proposed an amendment to the National Assembly. In the process of careful deliberation of these three proposals, the Ministry of Health and legislator Kim Ikgi (ÑÑìÏÐñ) each came up with a further amendment. Ultimately, Kim Ikgi¡¯s amendment was accepted by the National Assembly. According to his proposal, TKM practitioners were titled ¡¯Hanuisa (ùÓì¢ÞÔ)¡¯, and the medical office name of TKM practitioners became ¡¯Hanuiwon (ùÓì¢êÂ)¡¯.
Conclusions: The National Medical Services Law passed in 1951 was the beginning of the unique dual national medical license system of Korea. It recognized Western medicine and TKM practitioners equally under the national license system.
