Seoul: The South Korean government issued a stern warning on Thursday regarding any potential illegal actions related to the planned collective walkouts by medical professors and community doctors protesting against the medical school quota hike.
The Korean Medical Association (KMA) is urging the government to halt proceedings concerning the medical school quota hike for 2025.
According to an IANS report, "The government will try to persuade doctors until the last moment to prevent their planned collective walkouts. In the meantime, any illegal acts will be met with a stern response," Lee Han-kyung, the interior ministry's chief disaster management official, said during a government meeting.
