정부가 28일 전국 주요 병원 의대 교수들이 주 1회 정기적으로 휴진을 하기로 결정한 것과 관련해 깊은 유감과 우려를 표하고, 의료계에 집단행동을 접고 대화의 자리에 나와 의견을 제시해 달라고 촉구했다.

박민수 보건복지부 2차관은 이날 의사 집단행동 중앙사고수습본부(중수본) 회의를 주재하며 “정부는 의사단체와 일 대 일 대화가 가능하다고 밝힌 만큼, 집단행동을 접고 대화의 자리에 조건없이 나와 의견을 제시해주길 바란다”고 밝혔다.

또 “의료개혁특별위원회에 참석해 우리나라 보건의료의 미래 개혁방향을 함께 논의해 나갈 것을 당부한다”고 했다.

그러면서 “전공의 집단행동이 두 달이 넘도록 계속되면서 비상진료체계가 장기화되는 가운데, 환자의 곁을 지키고 있는 의사·간호사 등 현장의 의료진과 주변에 동요하지 않고 묵묵히 수련에 전념하고 있는 전공의에게 감사하다”며 “환자와 그 가족들의 고통을 생각하면 안타까운 마음으로 정부는 지금의 상황을 수습하고, 중증·응급환자의 진료 공백을 최소화할 수 있도록 비상진료체계를 강화해나가겠다”고 강조했다.

정부는 의대교수 단체가 주1회 휴진 입장을 밝히고, 일부 의대교수들이 수술 중단 등을 권고한 것과 관련해 깊은 유감과 우려를 표명하고, 환자들의 불안과 고통이 커지지 않도록 집단 행동을 자제할 것을 당부했다.

또한 중증·응급 중심으로 비상진료체계가 운영될 수 있도록 운영상황을 면밀히 점검하고, 필요한 조치를 강화하기로 했다.

지난 26일 기준 상급종합병원 일반입원환자는 2만2739명으로 전주 평균 대비 1.8% 감소했고, 상급종합병원 포함 전체 종합병원은 전주 대비 1.6% 감소한 8만6824명이다.

중환자실 입원환자는 상급종합병원 2876명으로 전주 평균 대비 0.5% 감소, 상급종합병원 포함 전체 종합병원은 6913명으로 전주 대비 2.1% 감소했다.

응급실은 전체 408개소 중 393개소(96%)가 병상 축소 없이 운영됐다.

정부는 중증응급환자가 제 때 적합한 의료기관으로 전원될 수 있도록 2월20일부터 중앙응급의료상황실을 확대 운영했다. 3월4일부터는 긴급상황실을 개소, 4월1일부터는 수도권, 충청권, 전라권, 경상권 4개 권역별로 광역응급의료상황실을 운영 중이다.

광역응급의료상황실은 근무당 상황의사 1명과 상황요원 2~4명이 팀을 이루어 해당 권역 내 중증응급환자의 전원을 지원하고 있으며, 전국 단위의 전원조정이 필요할 경우에는 중앙응급의료상황실로 이관하고 있다.

상황의사는 지역 내 의사와 정부가 파견 지원 중인 공중보건의사 12명이 역할을 수행 중이다. 지난 3월4일부터 4월27일까지 총 853건의 환자 전원 조정을 지원했다.

정부는 중증·응급환자 중심의 비상진료체계 하에서 당초 이날까지 상황실 파견 근무 예정이었던 공중보건의사 파견기간을 연장하여 상황실 운영이 차질없이 지속될 수 있도록 조치했다.
