Doctors Go On Strike in Protest of Gov't Policy


Seoul: Thousands of doctors staged a 1-day strike March 10 Monday in protest of the government's plan to introduce a new medical system, partly causing inconveniences to patients across the country.

The massive walkout by doctors, the first of its kind in 14 years, involves medical clinics, and interns and resident physicians working in hospitals around the country.

"We oppose the government's plan to allow remote medical examinations and treatment, as well as for-profit hospitals, and can no longer stand the country's wrong health insurance and medical systems," the Korean Medical Association (KMA,) which represents 100,000 doctors around the country, said of the main reason for their strike.
