Controversy over envisioned medical school quota hike

Lee Pil-soo, head of the Korean Medical Association, speaks during a press conference at the association's headquarters in Seoul on Feb. 6, 2024, vowing to launch a nationwide strike if the government "unilaterally" pushes for raising the medial school enrollment quota. The health ministry is widely expected to announce a plan the same day to increase the number of medical students as part effort to address the chronic shortages of doctors in rural areas and the essential health care field.
