S. Korean docs hold mass rally, defy call to resume work

SEOUL- Thousands of South Korean doctors held a mass rally on March 3 against government plans to increase medical school admissions.

They defied official calls for trainee physicians who had also walked off the job in protest to return to work.

Up to 40,000 doctors joined the rally, demanding the government scrap the plan, according to the Korean Medical Association (KMA), which represents private practitioners and had organised the protest.

Police put the number of demonstrators at about 12,000.

About 70 per cent of South Korea's 13,000 trainee doctors have walked out in the past two weeks over the government's planned initiative.
