South Korean Doctors' Protests Escalate Over Medical School Expansion

Trainee doctors in South Korea are protesting government plans to increase medical school admissions, leading to almost two-thirds of the country's young doctors walking out, forcing hospitals to turn away patients and cancel procedures. The government has threatened to arrest the protesting doctors, who argue that the real issue is pay and working conditions. While the government aims to bolster the healthcare system, the protesters believe that South Korea already has enough doctors and that the focus should be on increasing pay and reducing workloads.
