[Breaking News] 8,897 Residents from 94 Hospitals Submit Resignations... 69.4% Leave Workplaces

Nearly 8,900 residents who submitted resignation letters in opposition to the government's plan to increase medical school admissions were reported across 94 major training hospitals. This figure excludes six hospitals from the previous day's tally of 9,275 residents at 100 training hospitals, so the number may increase if those hospitals are included.

On the 23rd, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that as of 10 p.m. the previous day, excluding six hospitals scheduled for corrective orders due to data submission deficiencies, 8,897 residents?about 78.5% of the total residents at 94 training hospitals?had submitted resignation letters. The number of residents who left their workplaces was confirmed to be 7,863, approximately 69.4% of the total residents.

The Ministry stated, "Since six hospitals were not included in the statistics, it is difficult to make a direct comparison with the previous day."
