Boramae Hospital nurse “K-quarantine is collapsing every day”
Public reply to the letter of appreciation for Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun… Appeal for support
Boramae Hospital said, “There is not a lot of medical manpower.”

It has been a year since there has been a confirmed case of Corona 19 in Korea.
However, the reality of having one nurse take care of close to ten patients has not changed much.
Since there is no clear solution, truth battles between local governments, hospitals, and nurses are taking place.
Reporter Kim Ji-hwan reports what the situation is.

‘The success story of K-Defense is collapsing in the nursing field every day. We are failing every day.’
This article was written by a nurse who works at Boramae Hospital in Seoul, a hospital dedicated to Corona 19.
In celebration of the New Year, when Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun sent a thank-you letter to the medical staff, he sent a public reply.
When one nurse cared for 9 severely ill patients, he was confronted with frustration and guilt every day and appealed for support.
On the date of controversy, Boramae Hospital refuted that there was not a significant shortage of manpower because care support was provided and there were not many critically ill patients.
[보라매병원 관계자 : 1명이 중환자 9명 관리하고, 보살피고 있다는 게 조금 사실과 달라서…. 간호사 1명에 중환자 경우에는 1명 정도로 보고 있습니다.]
The city of Seoul also said it is already supporting nursing personnel.
[박유미 / 서울시 방역통제관(15일) : (보라매병원 인력) 829명으로 정원대비 부족한 상황이기 때문에 즉시 충원하기 위해서 270명을 채용해서 임용대기 중임을 알려드립니다.]
However, the nurses went out to the streets saying that the hospital and the city of Seoul were trying to cover the sky with their palms.
They lied about asking for help and distorted the facts by counting people who haven’t even been hired yet.
“Stop compelling commitment! Stop compelling commitment!”
Nurse Kim Kyung-oh, who worked at the corona ward at Boramae Hospital last month.
At that time, he complained that only 6 nurses were assigned to 50 severely ill patients, and that the labor volume more than doubled due to the third pandemic.
[김경오 / 서울 보라매병원 간호사 : 대소변을 치워야 하고 식사를 거부하는 환자를 어르고 달래야 하며 욕창이 생기지 않도록 2~3시간마다 체위변경을 해줘야 합니다. 겹겹이 낀 장갑과 방호복으로 인해 둔해진 행동으로 몇 배는 더 시간을 들여….]
The Seoul Medical Center nurses also raised their voices saying that the situation is similar.
[김경희 / 의료연대노조 서울의료원 분회장 : 서울시와 서울의료원의 계획되지 않은 그때 상황에 따른 임기응변식 병실 운영으로 서울의료원의 간호사들은 너무 혼란스럽습니다.]
The nurses and medical regiment argued that it was appropriate for one nurse to see 2.5 severely ill patients.
As a result, the number of nurses at Boramae Hospital, which is 160, should be increased to the level of 430, and urged the government and Seoul to create a standard for nursing personnel for each severe level and a proper bed plan.
