Smaller towns in South Korea bear brunt of doctors' shortage
Quick Glance: Smaller Towns in South Korea Struggle with Doctor Shortage
  • Hospitals in South Korea's smaller cities are facing a shortage of physicians as a nationwide strike by trainee doctors continues to protest plans to increase medical school admissions.

  • While Seoul has top-tier hospitals, smaller towns are suffering from a lack of doctors, exacerbated by an aging population and the world's lowest birth rates.

  • South Korea has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios among developed countries, prompting government efforts to increase medical school enrollments, a move met with resistance from trainee doctors and medical groups.

  • Addressing the shortage of doctors in underserved areas and preventing them from clustering in Seoul requires not just an increase in doctor numbers but also policy changes, according to experts in the field.

Rishi Sunak says spending billions more on defence won’t stop tax cuts
Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

  • Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

  • The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

  • Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.
