South Korean senior doctors quit, escalating crisis as govt begins revoking trainee licences

In South Korea, medical school professors and physicians at several hospitals have joined striking junior doctors to protest against the government’s plan to increase medical school admissions. At the same time, authorities have started notifying trainee doctors about the suspension of their medical licences, as the government begins to punish physicians for walking out of their jobs. The strike by about 9,000 junior doctors has entered its third week, with no signs of a breakthrough as the doctors and the government remain defiant in their demands. Lim Yun Suk reports from Seoul.
