South Korea Plans License Suspensions for Striking Doctors
Thousands of junior doctors in South Korea face license suspensions and police investigations as they continue their strike against a government plan to increase medical school enrollment. The government argues that more doctors are needed to address the country's aging population, but many doctors believe that the sudden increase in students will harm the overall medical service. The government has begun administrative steps to suspend the licenses of the striking doctors, with officials stating that those who lead the walkouts may face police complaints. The striking doctors, who make up a significant portion of hospital staff, are determined to continue their protest despite potential legal consequences.
