This decision has prompted <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sbs.co.kr\/news\/endPage.do?news_id=N1007530255\">strong opposition<\/a> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kma.org\/\">Korean Medical Association<\/a> (KMA) and the Korean Intern Resident Association, which plan nationwide protests and potential strikes.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the government has threatened stern actions, including the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yna.co.kr\/view\/AKR20240208163000530?section=society\/all&amp;site=topnews01\">revoking doctors\u2019 licenses<\/a> under the <a href=\"https:\/\/elaw.klri.re.kr\/eng_mobile\/ganadaDetail.do?hseq=39874&amp;type=abc&amp;key=MEDICAL%20SERVICE%20ACT&amp;param=M\">Medical Service Act<\/a>, should the protests lead to strikes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The potential strike by South Korean doctors over the proposed increase in medical school quotas highlights the country\u2019s shortage of medical staff. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khidi.or.kr\/board\/view?pageNum=2&amp;rowCnt=20&amp;no1=2308&amp;linkId=48877141&amp;menuId=MENU01499&amp;maxIndex=00488779799998&amp;minIndex=00488728959998&amp;schType=0&amp;schText=&amp;schStartDate=&amp;schEndDate=&amp;boardStyle=&amp;categoryId=&amp;continent=&amp;country=\">2022 data<\/a> from the South Korean health ministry, there are only 2.5 doctors per 1,000 people, marking the lowest ratio among OECD countries. This shortage is set against a backdrop of demographic shifts, with <a href=\"https:\/\/kostat.go.kr\/board.es?mid=a10301010000&amp;bid=10820&amp;act=view&amp;list_no=427252\">government forecasts<\/a> indicating that by 2025, over 20% of South Korea\u2019s population will be over 65, escalating the need for medical services.<\/p>\n<p>The KMA argues that simply increasing the quota of medical students does not address the root causes of the healthcare system\u2019s challenges, such as the uneven distribution of medical specialists and the concentration of healthcare providers in urban areas, particularly Seoul. The KMA highlights that certain specialties, notably <a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/2023\/08\/why-pediatric-care-in-south-korea-faces-a-precipitous-decline\/\">pediatrics<\/a>, suffer from severe shortages due to the high demands and lower perceived earnings, in contrast to fields like dermatology, which attract more candidates.<\/p>\n<p>This is the latest political dispute that the Yoon administration faces ahead of the parliamentary elections on April 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/culture-society\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Culture &amp; Society<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/koreapro.org\/tag\/domestic-politics\/\"><span class=\"tag\">Domestic Politics<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea faces a potential doctors\u2019 strike amid disputes between the government and the medical community over plans to increase medical school quotas.
