South Korea's government is taking action against nearly 9,000 junior doctors who have been on strike for about two weeks in protest of a plan to increase the country's medical school admission quota. The government had set a deadline for the doctors to return to work by Feb. 29, but most did not comply.
Officials have begun the process of suspending the licenses of the striking doctors, with a minimum three-month suspension being imposed. This suspension could lead to delays in obtaining specialist licenses and hinder their job prospects.
