Mokpo University and Suncheon National University have been in conflict for several years... “If you miss the golden hour, local medical care will collapse.” It is pointed out that the discussion on establishing a new national medical school in Gwangju, Jeonnam was started incorrectly from the first step. As the issue of which university will have the medical school becomes more important than what medical services the residents need, the expansion of essential medical services, which has been a long-awaited goal for the past 36 years, has not been achieved. Discussions on establishing a new national medical school began in 1990 to fill the gap in essential medical care in the region.
