Senior doctors in South Korea begin to submit resignations in solidarity with junior medics strike

SENIOR doctors at dozens of hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations today in support of junior doctors who have been on a strike for five weeks, their leader said.

The junior doctors have been in dispute over the government’s push to sharply increase medical school admissions.

The senior doctors’ action will likely not cause an immediate worsening of hospital operation provision in South Korea because they have said they would continue to work even after submitting their resignations.
