The collective refusal of South Korean interns and residents to return to work continues to escalate. Officials from the Ministry of Health and Welfare said that the government will take action to suspend the licenses of approximately 7,000 doctors who have left their jobs.

Minister of Health and Welfare Cho Kyu-hong said that starting today, the government will inspect those on the medical frontline who have not returned to work and take measures in accordance with laws and principles. For those who have returned, the government will treat them leniently and hopes that those who have not returned to work can return to the front line of medical treatment as soon as possible. He also expressed regret for the large-scale rally held by the Korean Medical Association yesterday.

Thousands of interns and residents refused to return to work for the 14th consecutive day to protest the government’s plan to increase the number of medical students, arguing that insufficient educational resources would affect the quality of teaching.
