Major hospitals across the country are experiencing disruptions as thousands of trainee doctors continue their strike for the fifth consecutive day against the government’s plan to increase medical school enrollment. Nearly 100 general hospitals have had to cancel or postpone nonessential procedures, leading to concerns about the strain on the medical system. With over 78% of trainee doctors not reporting to work, the impact on the healthcare sector is profound. Patients are being advised to utilize nearby clinics for mild symptoms, as hospitals struggle to maintain their services. The government’s push to admit more medical students is met with opposition from doctors and medical students who argue that addressing existing issues within the healthcare system should take priority. The walkout is set to continue, with planned rallies in Seoul to further protest the proposed changes.
