South Korean police have summoned officials from the Korean Medical Association (KMA) for questioning over allegations of violating medical law, intensifying pressure on trainee doctors amid their two-week walkout. Joo Soo-ho, a spokesperson for KMA’s emergency committee, attended the police station, with other senior members expected to follow. The health ministry filed a complaint against KMA, accusing them of obstructing government actions by supporting the striking trainee doctors. The walkout, protesting planned medical reforms, has led to disruptions in hospitals, impacting surgeries and treatments. The government warns of potential suspensions or revocations of medical licenses for protesting doctors.
