South Korean Senior Doctors to Resign in Support of Ongoing Strike by Junior Doctors

South Korean Senior Doctors to Resign in Support of Ongoing Strike by ...
Quick Glance: Protests in South Korea: Doctors Resign in Solidarity
  • Senior doctors at numerous hospitals in South Korea planned to submit their resignations as a show of support for medical interns and residents who have been on strike for five weeks due to the government's drastic increase in medical school admissions.

  • The decision by senior doctors is unlikely to immediately worsen hospital operations in South Korea, given their commitment to continue working even after submitting their resignations.

  • Approximately 12,000 interns and medical residents are facing potential license suspensions for persisting with their strikes, resulting in numerous canceled surgeries and treatments at their hospitals.

  • The government emphasizes the urgent need for more doctors due to South Korea's rapidly aging population and the low doctor-to-population ratio, while doctors express concerns that the planned increase in admissions may lead to excessive competition and unnecessary treatments.

Quick Glance: South Korea: Consumer Sentiment Declines Due to Food Inflation
  • South Korea's consumer sentiment dropped sharply in March due to rising concerns over food prices, becoming a significant political issue in the upcoming elections.

  • The consumer sentiment index decreased to 100.7 in March from 101.9 in February, marking the largest monthly decline since October, according to the Bank of Korea's regular consumer survey.

  • Higher prices of agricultural products have been linked in part to adverse weather conditions, with the opposition Democratic Party (DP) criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration for economic mismanagement.

  • In response to the situation, the government has implemented measures such as subsidies and reduced tariffs on imported agricultural goods to curb inflation.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
