| Lee Pil-soo, president of the Korean Medical Association, stages a protest in front of the National Assembly, Monday, against the Assembly's move to pass a bill that requires the installation of surveillance cameras in hospital operating rooms. A group of liberal ruling Democratic Party of Korea lawmakers proposed the bill, citing the growing need to provide protection to patients against medical negligence or malpractice, while medical groups have been against it, claiming that the legislation will create distrust between doctors and patients.
