With the medical field in upheaval, the People Power Party turns to new allies that they previously spurned
South Korea’s ruling People Power Party (PPP) has proposed a revised Nursing Act bill to pass it within the current National Assembly session. The bill, a modified version of the legislation vetoed by President Yoon Suk-yeol last year, was introduced through a lawmaker-sponsored process to expedite its passage ahead of the April 10 general election.
The new bill clearly defines the qualifications and scope of work for nurses, physician assistant nurses and nursing assistants. It also allows nurses to independently establish “home nursing dedicated institutions,” a provision expected to face opposition from doctors’ groups who view it as granting nurses the right to set up long-term care facilities.
