The 2022 Presidential election is approaching. Because health policies are intimately connected to other policies and involve multiplestakeholders, it is difficult to promote policy changes. Hence, the presidential election, during which policymakers are replaced, is agreat timing for making policy improvements. Several important policies have been introduced and promoted throughout thepresidential election process. However, these policies have been implemented without going through sufficient discussion among theexperts but rather through the voices of minority groups with stronger political will. This eventually posed an obstacle to thebalanced development of the entire health care system. The current medical system faces challenges that need to be addressed inthe medium and long term. In particular, we should be wary of the populistic approach. We look forward to seeing more policycommitments, proposed through the evidence-based policy process and sufficient amount of discussion among the experts.
