Fox News
Thousands of doctors in South Korea are facing potential suspension of their medical licenses as they continue their strike against a plan to increase medical school enrollment.
Officials say South Korea must add more doctors to deal with a fast-aging population and plan to raise yearly medical school enrollment by 2,000 from the current 3,058, starting next year. But many doctors say universities aren’t ready to deal with that abrupt increase in the number of students and that the country’s overall medical service would eventually be hurt.
