TOKYO — Seven people have been pronounced dead after a South Korean ship capsized off an island in southwestern Japan, the coast guard said Wednesday afternoon, out of nine crew members found so far.
The coast guard is still searching for two more people who were on the chemical tanker, which flipped over after reporting trouble in a rough sea. The island is just off the southwestern end of Japan's main island of Honshu, about 1,000 kilometers from Tokyo. The ship was carrying a South Korean captain, and its crew included another South Korean national, a Chinese national and eight Indonesians, according to the coast guard.

Officials say the recruitment plan is aimed at adding more doctors to prepare for South Korea’s rapidly aging population in a country whose doctor-to-population ratio is one of the lowest in the developed world.
