Currently, the issue of poor accessibility to essential medical services has been brought to light as a social discontent. In order to strengthen theessential medical service system, the government has announced the “the policy package related to essential medical service” as acomprehensive solution and has vowed to invest more than 10 trillion won by 2028. As it contains crucial elements for changing the frameworkof the healthcare system, I would like to present several points to consider in policy implementation. Given that this package contains importantelements for changing the framework of the healthcare system, there are a few issues to consider in policy implementation. First, a mechanismto prevent politicization should be established when designing the physician training system. Second, changing from a hospital centered onresidents to one centered on specialists means that the society bears the cost of training residents, while paying a high price for specialistservices. The willingness of society to pay for the costs incurred by such a change should be carefully considered, and an appropriate budgetmust be prepared. Third, as the operation of shared human resources and inter-organizational networking, among other detailed policymeasures, are still at a level of conceptual discussion, various issues should be solidly reviewed and considered for in the mid to long term to suitthe conditions of the domestic healthcare system.
