News Gov't weighing measures to deal with trainee doctors who refuse to return to hospitals. The South Korean government is considering actions against trainee doctors who continue to strike in protest of medical reform, despite efforts to bring them back. Health Minister Cho Kyoo-hong plans to introduce measures as hospitals prepare for new recruits in September. The strike, ongoing since February, protests the increase in medical student admissions. Major hospitals in Seoul have begun reducing patient care, and more medical professors plan to join the walkouts.
