S. Korea police raid medical association office over walkout


Police raided the offices of the Korean Medical Association, an officer said, as the government contends with a doctors’ strike that has led to chaos in hospitals.

Nearly 10,000 junior doctors – about 80% of the trainee workforce – walked off the job last week. They are protesting government plans to sharply increase medical school admissions to cope with shortages and an ageing society.
