Why are the South Korean doctors resigning over the increase intake of medical graduates?

257 viewsOther

The news articles I have come across mention the reason, but I don’t understand why they are protesting the influx of more manpower. Sounds like they should be glad for more help? Or is there an angle I am not seeing.

The healthcare profession in my country is dying for more help in every sector at any given time. And we have been churning out thousands of graduates every year.

the korean government is trying to :

1. increase the number of doctors
2. balance the medical infrastructure nationwide
3. legal support for doctors regarding medical malpractice
4. change how the national healthcare pays for the treatment

4th part directly affects how doctors earn money, they are gonna paid less when it happens.

simply put, you have been enjoying a honey pot, the government says a smaller honey pot from now, you are not happy anymore.
