South Korea Suspends Licenses of 2 Doctors Amid Strikes. South Korea has suspended the licenses of two senior doctors for inciting medical interns and residents' strikes against a plan to increase medical school admissions. The government's proposal aims to address the low doctor-to-population ratio and prepare for an aging society. However, striking doctors argue the plan could dilute medical service quality. Approximately 12,000 junior doctors have participated in the strikes, affecting hospital operations but not critical care. The government and striking doctors are in a standoff, with the former seeking to expand healthcare access and the latter concerned about service quality and job competition.
