South Korean hospitals earlier in February turned away patients and delayed surgeries, amid spiking tensions between doctors and the government over the latter's plan to increase the number of medical students. More than half of the country's 13,000 trainee doctors submitted their resignations on 20 February in protest of the plan, citing pay and overworking conditions. EPA/JEON HEON-KYUN
