복지부, 추경 3461억 확정…중동전쟁 부담·의료공백 해소

South Korea committed 346.1 billion won to combat economic pressures from the prolonged Middle East conflict and protect vulnerable populations through expanded food security and care programs. Critically, the budget addresses a structural healthcare crisis—declining public health physicians are creating dangerous service gaps in rural and underserved regions, forcing rapid mobilization of alternative medical workers. This dual response reflects acute awareness of both immediate economic threats and the long-term collapse risk of regional healthcare infrastructure.
