South Korean government to withdraw plan to suspend licences of striking doctors

THE South Korean government said today that the country intends to withdraw its earlier plan to suspend licences of striking doctors as part of its efforts to resolve the country’s long-running medical dispute.

It wasn’t immediately known whether and how many of thousands of the striking doctors would return to work in the wake of the government’s announcement. 

Health Minister Cho KyooHong said today that the government had decided not to suspend their licences of the strikers, regardless of whether they return to their hospitals or not.
