KHMU has been organizing a series of workshops on transformation of healthcare supply system with the cooperation of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) and Korean Patients Association from 3 November 2011 to 16 February 2012. In the coming elections such as for the National Assembly in April 2012 and for the President of Republic in December 2012, the social welfare and healthcare will be the hot issues.
