Abstract

Recently, a sudden increase of 2,000 in the number of medical students has led to massive and prolonged strikes in medical fields. Although it remains controversial whether there is actually a shortage of doctors, many people, including physicians, agree that there is a shortage in essential medical fields. Recently, both the government and the Supreme Court have proposed several solutions in response to the problem. In this article, I would like to discuss the suggested solutions and their problems regarding the issue.
