South Korean trainee doctors stage walkout over government reforms

South Korean trainee doctors are staging one of their biggest labour actions in years. More than 1,600 of them have stopped work in protest at a government plan to increase the number of medical students. It is feared the large-scale action could hurt the nation's healthcare system. President Yoon Suk-yeol has urged the doctors to call off their strike, maintaining there will be no delay to the increase in admissions to medical schools.
