South Korea starts process to suspend licences of striking trainee doctors

SEOUL South Korea said on March 5 that it would start notifying striking trainee doctors that their medical licences would be suspended, as it moves to punish medics who have quit hospitals in protest over training reforms.

Thousands of junior doctors handed in their notice and stopped working two weeks ago to protest against a rise in medical school admissions from 2025.

The government says it is raising enrolment to help combat shortages and meet the demands of an ageing society.

The striking trainees defied a Feb 29 government deadline for them to return to work or face legal action, including possible arrest or suspension of their medical licences.
