Professors at South Korea's medical schools have begun resigning and
mass to show solidarity with ongoing protests by trainee doctors
in the country.
The strike, in protest of government plans to increase medical
school admissions has now lasted more than a month.
The president of the Medical Professors Association of Korea said
increasing admissions will ruin medical education and cause the country's
healthcare system to collapse.
He said some medical professors will scale back outpatient services
to focus on treating emergency and severely I'll patients.
