Doctors take one-day rest

A doctor sheds tears while listening to remarks by a trainee doctor during an emergency symposium on the nation's future medical course at Seoul National University Hospital in Seoul on April 30, 2024, amid a monthslong walkout nationwide by trainee doctors in protest against the government's medical reform, primarily focusing on the increase of medical student intake. Citing cumulative excessive workload due to the walkout, doctors at the hospital and another major hospital in the capital took a day off on the same day, leading to the suspension of treatment and surgeries.
