The South Korean Medical Association announced that community clinics will join a strike starting June 27 due to dissatisfaction with the government's medical student intake policy. The strike, which began in February and continued despite the parliamentary election, is escalating, with threats of crackdowns by the government if medical institutions close. The medical sector criticizes the government's policies as unable to address issues of urban versus rural areas, popular versus less popular specialties, and basic healthcare workforce shortages.
