[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Junho] A 60-year-old director acting as a 'front boss' of an illegal administrative hospital has turned himself in, prompting the police to launch an investigation.
The Gwangju Bukbu Police Station announced on the 3rd that it plans to conduct a second investigation on the 4th into A (61, female) on charges of violating the Medical Service Act.
A is suspected of lending her name to a non-medical person while working as the director of a Korean medicine hospital located in Buk-gu.
An administrative hospital refers to a type of hospital operated by an individual who hires doctors but is not a doctor or a medical corporation. Under current law, only doctors or medical corporations are allowed to operate hospitals.
A's side stated, "She turned herself in because she wants to pay for her sins and start anew."
It is reported that conflicts deepened between the actual operator and A due to economic and other reasons, leading to her surrender.
The police plan to secure related materials such as account transaction records to accurately ascertain the details of the case.
