Moreover, even when our people get sick, there are many cases where they die not because there is no medicine, but because they do not know the medicine.
“Let’s create a new, easy-to-understand and systematic medical standard so that diseases can be cured using the herbs (scented herbs) found in our mountains and rivers.”

As of today, the President has summoned the Minister of Health and Welfare and the Minister of Science, Technology, Information and Communication.
Reform the pharmaceutical market structure that is highly dependent on foreign countries,
Let’s build a medical self-reliance system based on domestically produced natural new drugs.
It was the same national project.
This was the beginning of the Donguibogam project.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
The true value of Donguibogam lies in its overwhelming UI and standardization.
Heo Jun has extensive medical knowledge including internal medicine (internal medicine), external medicine (surgery), miscellaneous diseases (epidemic diseases), decoctions (drugs), and acupuncture (acupuncture).
After systematically classifying into five categories,
For each disease, the symptoms are written so that you can go to the prescription section, and in the prescription section, you can move on to the decoction section.
We have organized it clearly so that you can check the information in detail.
You can think of it as a hyperlink-like structure, like today’s Wikipedia or Namu Wiki.
Or something like a Magal clearance notice.

The most innovative part is the rediscovery of domestic medicinal ingredients and the Korean alphabet.
At the time, doctors preferred expensive medicines imported from China.
Heo Jun placed medicines that were easily available nearby at the center of his prescriptions.
And the name of the medicine must be written in Korean under the name.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Patient: Teacher Heo Jun!~ There is a medicinal herb called Soybean Yellow Quan. What is it?
It looks expensive, but I’m poor so I can’t use this.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Ying
It’s easy to get.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Oh, I see.~~~ I know how to read some Korean.
I don’t know anything about Chinese characters. Thank you~~~
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Hmm. This is a question that needs to be thought about. Is it meaningful to give medicinal herbs written in Chinese to blind people?
Isn’t it right to use medicinal herbs written in Korean, which are widely popular among the people?
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
This is equivalent to building today’s national health information system.
My stomach hurts -> Where is it?
This algorithmic approach prevented the quacks who were rampant at the time from giving sick prescriptions,
It was part of the medical standardization policy to raise the level of medical care across the country.
Heo Jun can be seen as a medical system designer and administrator, not a doctor.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Additionally, Heo Jun distributed emergency response manuals whenever an infectious disease broke out.
This is the Unhae series
Unhae pox (not that pox, but smallpox) (1601): Emergency manual for smallpox response
Eonhaetaesan stubbornness (1601): Manual for childbirth and postpartum cooking
Eonhae Emergency Room (1601): First aid manual (roughly CPR guide)
Shinchan Byeok Onbang (1613): Manual for responding to acute infectious diseases such as typhus and scarlet fever
What these books have in common is
First, it was written in Korean.
Second, thin and light
Third, expensive medicines were removed considering ease of distribution and economic feasibility.
Heo Jun was an administrator who tried to realize universal medical welfare in his own way.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
From 1612 to 1613, when a strange disease that started in Hamgyeong-do swept across the country and killed thousands of people.
Heo Jun incorrectly explained the cause of the epidemic as an imbalance in fortune, but
Specific social distancing and personal hygiene rules were presented to block transmission routes.
When dealing with a patient, sit with your back turned.
Boil and wash the patient’s clothes,
When entering a room with a patient, hold your breath or watch out for gaps.
Ventilate frequently.
Heo Jun intuitively knew that infectious diseases were spread through physical contact and unsanitary environments.
Attempts were made to control this through executive orders.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Heo Jun’s very important hidden achievement was the unification of weights and measures for medicinal ingredients.
At that time, each scale had different graduations and the size of the doe was different in each region.
This means that the concentration of the cold medicine prepared at Oriental Medicine Clinic A and the cold medicine prepared at Oriental Medicine Clinic B was different.
Heo Jun clearly defined the standard units for measuring the weight and volume of medicinal materials through Donguibogam.
Instead of vague expressions such as a bowl of water, it is quantified as 5 hops of water and 3 pints of medicinal herbs.
In addition, we calculated the difference between the old scale and the scale in use at the time and created a conversion table.
This was an essential measure to prevent medical accidents and maintain consistency of drug efficacy.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Heo Jun was not just a family name.
The medical system of the late Joseon Dynasty was created and reestablished to fit the Joseon landscape.
Create various emergency manuals
Even the messy weights and measures were corrected.
His achievements as a medical administrator, bureaucrat, and Minister of Health were also remarkable.
https://dcimg2.dcinside.co.kr/viewimage.php
Isn’t this the kind of leadership we really want in our time?
Even if we get criticized, we come up with accurate solutions based on data,
This kind of administrator-type leadership that silently fixes the system.
