South Korea’s Doctor Strike Ends
It appears the Moon administration may have blinked a bit to end the doctors’ strike:
Thousands of senior and junior doctors decided Friday to end a weekslong collective action after reaching a deal with health authorities and the ruling party to review a medical reform plan, but trainee doctors are still threatening to continue their walkout.
Doctors at general hospitals and other medical institutes have been protesting a slew of issues, including raising admission quotas at medical schools and establishing a new public medical school.
Under the agreement, the government will not push forward with the medical reform plan unilaterally, and will reflect doctors’ voices in the scheme.
