  • This study tries to seek the is the realistic improvements and legislative measures about current medical advertising which was in the Court on 12 May 2015 by presenting and discussion the understanding, problems and its alternative direction of pre-deliberation on the existing law which is the decision on the constitutionality of health care advertising regulated health care advertising General commercial advertising has the right which have to be protected as the terms of the protection of know and freedom of expression and advertiser's there are sure to be in a value to be protected. Medical advertising is also a person in addition to the absolute value that includes both Due to the particularity of medical advertising in terms of life and the right to health Until now, this has been the target of strong regulations are changing the policy of gradual deregulation in our country, including the country. Medical advertising on the current medical law had been to be checked by pre-deliberation of the executive power. However, due to unconstitutional, in the circumstances which a false hype is flooding and increasing, it has been realized that the fair competition of medical community, life and health rights of the people are threatened by in reverse. In this regard, the abolition of the pre-deliberation system of medical advertising can be welcomed by abolition of the old system which is the legal and institutional censorship.

  • 상업광고는 경쟁의 수단이자 그 자체 표현양식이기도 하다. 따라서 이는 영업의 자유(헌법 제15조)와 언론 출판의 자유(헌법 제21조 제1항)의 보호를 받는다. 영업의 자유 내지 경쟁과 관련하여서는 부정경쟁행위로서 제재되어야 하는 부당광고와 그 제한이 부당한 경쟁제한으로 오히려 금지될 수 있는 정당한 광고의 구분이 중요하다. 언론 출판의 자유 내지 표현과 관련하여서는 검열금지의 원칙(헌법 제21조 제2항)이 문제된다. 이 글에서는 이들 두 쟁점을 중심으로 (자유)전문직 광고규제, 특히 의료광고를 검토하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, (자유)전문직 광고, 특히 의료광고라 하더라도 사전심의를 받게 할 것은 아니다. 이는 검열금지가 상업광고에 대하여 적용되어야 한다는 뜻은 아니다. 검열금지를 상업광고에까지 적용하는 것은 부적절하다. 그러나 헌법재판소는 검열금지를 상업광고에 적용하고 있고, 실제로 의료광고에서 사전검열이 필요하다고 보이지도 아니한다. 사전심의를 지지하는 이는 주로 의료에 정보비대칭성이 있고, 잘못된 의료로 인한 해가 중대할 뿐 아니라 회복불가능하다는 점에서 그 근거를 찾는데, 의료법은 의료과오책임과 설명의무로 이에 대응하고 있고 의료광고가 여기에 미치는 영향은 매우 제한되어 있기 때문이다. 사전심의는 전면 폐지하거나 굳이 틀을 유지하려면 심의 받은 광고에 대한 인증제도 또는 완전한 자율규제로 전환하여야 한다. 둘째, (자유)전문직 광고, 특히 의료광고에 대하여 광고 일반보다 더 높은 규제를 가할 근거도 없다. 더 높은 수준의 규제를 가하여야 한다는 주장은 그 근거로 (자유)전문직은 윤리성, 비영리성을 갖고 있고, 특히 의료업은 국민건강보험체제에 편입되어 있는바, 경쟁이 이 체제의 안정성을 해할 수 있다는 점을 지적한다. 그러나 (자유)전문직이라 하더라도 직업윤리 등의 제약 하에 영리를 추구하고 경쟁할 수 있고, 또 실제로 하고 있으며, 의료업이 국민건강보험체제에 편입되어 있다는 사정 또한 경쟁의 수단 등에 일정한 제약을 부과할 뿐 경쟁 자체를 배제하지는 아니한다. 의료업에 대하여 일반 광고규제보다 더 엄격한 광고규제를 가하는 것은 초보의사에 대한 진입장벽으로 작용할 가능성이 높고, 그러한 점에서 경쟁제한적 행위로서 그 정당성이 의심스럽다.

  • Advertisements and labels provided by businesses are highly likely to contain false or exaggerated content because of the business's purposes. In these cases, it is difficult to deliver proper information to consumers, and regulation is necessary to some extent. In particular, information delivery is more important in the health medical and biotechnology areas than any other because of their specialized characteristics. The Fair Labeling and Advertising Act regulates ordinary content for labels and advertisements, while individual laws stipulate regulations for false or exaggerated advertisements and labels. Criminal law might apply in fraud cases depending on their characteristics. Therefore, consistency is needed among criminal fraud laws and regulations, the Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising, and legal punishment. However, a review of all these laws found that there is no such consistency. Accordingly, this paper asserts the need for improvement in this area.

  • Background: Recently clinical trials have expanded extensively in Korea; thus, ensuring the rights of subjects participating in clinical trials is imperative. Accordingly, national regulations on subject recruitment advertisement were enforced from October 25, 2018. In this study, the effect of this regulation was evaluated by analyzing the difference in the provision of information before and after enforcement of the regulation. Methods: Recruitment advertisements for clinical trial subjects 3 years before and after enforcement of the regulation were collated by the significance sampling approach. Print-based (newspapers, buses, and subways) and web-based (clinical trial center websites and online platforms) materials for recruitment in clinical trials of phase 1 to 4 for investigational drugs, medical devices, and oriental medicine were considered. Chi-square tests were conducted for inter-group comparisons. SPSS version 26 was employed for statistical analyses. Results: A total of 137 advertisements were collected comprising 60 pre- and 77 post-regulation enforcement. The overall rate of delivery of critical information in advertisements increased significantly from 47.5% before regulation to 93.2% after regulation enforcement. Particularly, details on expected adverse events augmented significantly (p<0.001). Benefits from participation in clinical trial reduced significantly from 88.3% to 70.1% (p<0.05). As the information provision amplified, the inclusion of professional terms increased. Conclusions: Enforcement of regulations has led to a surge in the amount of information and challenging terms contained in advertisements for recruiting subjects. Therefore, additional efforts are required by subjects to completely understand the information provided in the advertisements.

  • Education on the physician continues with undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education, and continuous medical education. The countries such as the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, German, and others are required to undergo training in the clinical field for 2 years after completing the national medical examination, and to become doctors after passing the clinical practice license test. Korea can obtain a medical license and become a clinical doctor at the same time if it passes written and practical tests after completing 6 years of undergraduate medical education or 4 years of graduate school. About 90% of medical school graduates replace clinical practice with 4-5 years of training to acquire professional qualifications, but this is an option for individual doctors rather than an extension of the licensing system under law. The medical professional qualification system is implemented by the Ministry of Health and Welfare on the regulation. In fact, under the supervision of the government, the Korean Hospital Association, the Korean Medical Association, and the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences progress most procedures. After training and becoming a specialist, the only thing that is given to a specialist is the right to mark him or her as a specialist in marking a medical institution and advertising. The government's guidelines for professional training are too restrictive, such as the recruitment method of residents, annual training courses of residents, dispatch rule of the residents, and the quota of residents of training hospitals. Although professional training systems are operated in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, most of them are organized and operated by public professional organizations and widely recognize the autonomy of academic institutions and hospitals. Korea should also introduce a compulsory education system after graduating from medical education and organize and initiate by autonomic public professional organization that meets global standards.

  • Evidence shows that tobacco advertising and promotion activities may increase tobacco consumption and usage, especially in youth. Despite the regulation on prohibiting advertisement of any tobacco product, tobacco advertisement and promotion activities are still common in Vietnam. This article presents current exposure to tobacco advertising and promotion (TAP) among school children aged 13 to 15 years in Vietnam in 2014 and potential influencing factors. Data from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey 2014 in Vietnam covering 3,430 school aged children were used. Both descriptive and analytical statistics were carried out with Stata 13 statistical software. Binary logistic regression was applied to explain the exposure to TAP among youth and examine relationships with individual factors. A significance level of p<0.05 and sampling weights were used in all of the computations. In the past 30 days, 48.6% of the students experienced exposure to at least 1 type of tobacco advertising or promotion. Wearing or otherwise using products related to tobacco was the most exposure TAP type reported by students (22.3%). The internet (22.1), points of sales (19.2) and social events (11.5) were three places that students aged 13-15 frequently were exposed to TAP. Binary logistic results showed that gender (female vs male) (OR = 0.61, 95%CI: 0.52 - 0.71), susceptibility to smoking (OR = 2.12, 95%CI: 1.53 - 2.92), closest friends' smoked (OR = 1.43, 95%CI: 1.2 - 1.7) and parents smoking status (OR = 2.83, 95%CI: 1.6 - 5.01) were significantly associated with TAP exposure among school-aged children. The research findings should contribute to effective implementation of measures for preventing and controlling tobacco use among students aged 13-15 in Viet Nam.

  • 2009년 개정 의료법은 전문병원 인증 제도를 도입하였다. 병원이 일정 요건을 갖추어 보건복지부장관으로부터 특정 질병 또는 특정 치료에 대하여 전문병원으로 인증을 받으면 그 병원의 명칭에 '전문병원' 등의 표시를 넣고 '보건복지부(장관)지정 전문병원'이라는 글귀가 적힌 인증 마크를 쓸 수 있다. 이후 각각 광고 일반 및 의료광고에 대하여 규제 권한을 갖고 있는 공정거래위원회와 보건복지부는 인터넷키워드검색광고에서 '전문' 등의 검색어를 넣었을 때 그 검색결과 값에 전문병원으로 인증 받지 아니한 의료기관이 노출되는 것을 금지하는 가이드라인을 발표하고 이를 집행하고 있다. 그러나 전문병원 정책이 적절한 것이었는지는 별론, 위와 같은 가이드라인은 법적 근거가 없고, 전문병원이 전문화를 통하여 제3차 진료기관과 경쟁할 수 있는, 그리하여 당해 병원의 경영을 개선함은 물론 전체 의료전달체계의 개선에도 기여하는 방향이 아닌, 나름의 방식으로 전문화를 도모 중인 제1차 및 다른 제2차 진료기관이 법적으로 허용되는 전문적 기술 등의 광고를 하는 것을 차단함으로써, 즉 경쟁을 배제함으로써 전문병원의 이익을 도모하려는 것으로서 바람직하지도 아니하다. 이 글에서는 전문병원 인증의 법적 성질과 광고 규제의 한계, 키워드검색광고의 법리 및 인터넷서비스제공자의 책임의 관점에서 이와 같은 점을 분석하였다.
