KATHMANDU: Doctors have been protesting for the past 35 days under the banner of the Safe Workplace Struggle Committee for Health Workers.
The movement primarily involves residential and other doctors studying in various medical colleges across the country.
During this period, agreements have been reached between the Ministry of Health and Population and various organizations representing the protesting doctors.
However, the struggle committee has continued its protest, citing unresolved issues.
The committee claims that several private medical colleges have not paid doctors’ salaries for the past three months and have been issuing threats to residential doctors. They have vowed to continue their agitation until these issues are addressed.
