Accordingly, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance to develop human resource standards for each surgery and procedure, as a basis for the Ministry of Health and Finance to provide guidance on payment levels. The Deputy Prime Minister also assigned the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs to develop salary standards for doctors according to hospital class.

Specifically, the Ministry of Health plans to collect hospital fees that include all 7 cost components (salary, on-duty allowance, surgery allowance, etc.). Currently, hospital fees only take into account 3/7 cost components./.
