reut.rs/3wdhLFh
Quick Glance: Smaller Towns in South Korea Struggle with Doctor Shortage
- Hospitals in South Korea's smaller cities are facing a shortage of physicians as a nationwide strike by trainee doctors continues to protest plans to increase medical school admissions.
- While Seoul has top-tier hospitals, smaller towns are suffering from a lack of doctors, exacerbated by an aging population and the world's lowest birth rates.
- South Korea has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios among developed countries, prompting government efforts to increase medical school enrollments, a move met with resistance from trainee doctors and medical groups.
- Addressing the shortage of doctors in underserved areas and preventing them from clustering in Seoul requires not just an increase in doctor numbers but also policy changes, according to experts in the field.

- Despite Jeong Sang-bin's equalizer with 14 minutes left, and being down to 10 players due to a red card for Lee Young-jun, Lee Kang-hee missed his shot in the shootout, allowing Pratama Arhan to score the winning goal.
- Japan emerged victorious against host Qatar in a 4-2 extra-time win, maintaining their path towards an eighth consecutive Olympic appearance. Saudi Arabia will face Uzbekistan, and Iraq will meet Vietnam. The fourth-placed team will have a playoff against Guinea in May to secure a place in Paris.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
- ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

- ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.
