ResumoSignificance President Yoon Suk-yeol’s administration aims to remedy a chronic shortage of doctors in South Korea. Public opinion is firmly behind Yoon, but the KMA has enjoyed past success in organising strikes to block any reform. Impacts The most severe penalties will be aimed at the strike's main organisers; the arrest of trainee doctors could swell the strikers' ranks. If Yoon is forced to backtrack, his popularity will decline once again. The longer the strike goes on, the greater the impact will be on public health.
