전공의 첫투표선 과반수 못얻어 '부결'…재투표서 파업 계속
South Korea's trainee doctors have vowed to continue their strike in protest against the government's plans for healthcare reform.
The Korean Intern Resident Association made the announcement Sunday following a vote at an overnight meeting of its emergency committee.
The announcement comes after the National Assembly proposed a deal for doctors to return to work, in exchange for them conditionally backing the government's healthcare reforms until COVID-19 stabilizes and then renegotiating later.
The doctors claim the conditional proposal shows the government does not have a willingness to resolve the fundamental cause of the dispute.
Doctors and trainees are opposed to the government's plan to train thousands more doctors and open new public medical schools.
