Previously, the Ministry of Health and Welfare extended the deadline for applying for the national examination to 12 o'clock last night according to an agreement with the medical association.

[Song Young-rae/Ministry of Health and Welfare Spokesperson: Out of the total 3,172 applicants, 446 and 14% are scheduled to take the exam.

The test will be conducted from September 8th as originally announced.

if 86% of medical students give up the national examination, it is expected that there will be a considerable disruption in the supply of doctors next year.

The Council of Majors is scheduled to hold an online conference starting at 1 pm today to discuss the timing of return to treatment following the stoppage of the strike.



Relief measures for medical students are expected to be discussed at this meeting.



The possibility of delaying return to treatment again cannot be ruled out if a solution is not available for medical students.
