Despite intense opposition to South Korea's medical reform, President Yoon reiterates the need for it. In South Korea, in February this year, the government announced medical reforms that included increasing the capacity of medical schools by more than 60%.
The medical community strongly objected to this, saying that a rapid increase in the number of medical personnel would lead to a decline in the quality of medical care. Approximately 10,000 trainee doctors protested to the government, and for more than a month, they remained at the medical institutions where they worked.
