South Korea: discontent among interns grows and disrupts hospitals. 71% resigned to protest against a reform of the numerus clausus.
According to Deputy Health Minister Park Min-soo, 7,813 interns did not show up for work on Wednesday, five times more than on the first day of the movement on Monday. South Korea is currently one of the worst performers in the OECD with only 2.5 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. But according to Joo Soo-ho, former president of the medical association, that's not the problem.
