South Korea said Monday it had started procedures to suspend the medical licences of 4,900 junior doctors who have resigned and stopped working to protest against government medical training reforms.
Seoul "is sending advance administrative notifications to trainee doctors who have defied back to work orders, and as of March 8 they have been sent to more than 4,900 trainee doctors," the Health Ministry's Chun Byung-wang told reporters.
