Medical professors serving as senior doctors at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) and its affiliates decided Friday to end an indefinite walkout, officials said. On Monday, hundreds of senior doctors at SNUH in Seoul and its three affiliates began an indefinite walkout in protest against the government's increase of the medical school admission quota. Holding a vote on whether to continue the walkout through next week, 73.6 percent of 948 professors said they should halt the operations suspension and seek a "sustainable way of protest," according to its emergency response committee. Some 20.3 percent voted for continuing the walkout. The walkout came as a majority of junior doctors have walked off the job since late February against the quota increase, and some community doctors affiliated with the Korean Medical Association (KMA) held a one-day strike on Tuesday. The KMA, a main doctors' lobby group, has threatened to launch an indefinite strike next week to press the government further. Sour ce: Yonhap News Agency
