(KPL/Yonhap) The government will work to foster some 27,000 bio-health talents this year as part of efforts to promote growth of the industry, the health ministry said Tuesday.
The plan was announced in a bio-health innovation committee meeting as part of the government's broader initiative aimed at fostering a total of 108,000 experts in the sector by 2027, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The experts will include physician-scientists and young talents with master's or doctorate degrees in advanced technologies related to bio-health.
For the goal, the government will strengthen support for cross-sectoral cooperation between private companies and academic institutions in the sector, according to the ministry.
In the meeting, the government also discussed ways to streamline regulations that hinder the growth of the bio-health industry, such as a validation guideline on medical device software, and raise the burden on high-risk clinical research projects on advanced regenerative medicine.
