South Korea doctors’ strike could escalate as medical professors threaten to resign

However, the Korean Medical Professors Association asserted on Tuesday that the older physicians were working hard to assist hospitals in providing necessary services in the face of operate stops.

The professors are “hoping for a speedy end” to the conflict, according to the report, but warned that more physicians may join the work stoppages if the government did n’t “unconditionally” agree to deals.

To help ease the situation, Seoul has mobilized military doctors and millions of dollars in position resources.

To tackle what it calls one of the lowest doctor-to-person ratio among developed countries, the state is urging the government to fund health school enrollment by 2,000 more students starting next month.

Doctors say they worry that the reform will lower the standard of care and health education, but opponents claim that doctors are trying to protect their wages and social standing.

The health ministry has asked authorities to look into those who are connected to the work stoppage in accordance with North Korean laws.

The program has a lot of public support, but a new poll by local internet found that 34 percent of people wanted negotiations with the government to stop the conflict.
