Due to the ongoing White Storm protests in South Korea, over half of the professors at Seoul National University Hospital have started an indefinite suspension of outpatient services, with a 40% reduction in treatment capacity expected. The government has introduced a shift system to ensure critical care patients receive timely treatment, while also requiring medical institutions to be responsible for emergency care on nights and holidays. The strike action is in response to disagreements over medical policies and increased medical school enrollment, with both sides unable to reach a resolution leading to extended unrest in the healthcare sector.
