All doctors at Narayani Hospital in Birgunj have submitted collective resignations following an assault on doctors, with warning of nationwide resignations from Nepal Medical Association if demands are not met.
All doctors working at Narayani Hospital in Birgunj have submitted their collective resignation. They took this step to protest against the vandalism and physical assault on doctors that happened at hospital last Saturday.
Demands for Action and Strike
The doctors were protesting and demanding resignation of the Chief District Officer (CDO) and Superintendent of Police (SP) of Parsa district. Since their demands were not addressed by authority, they finally decided to resign together.
Because of this protest, health services except emergency services remained shut down in government hospitals across the country on Monday. The Ministry of Health urged doctors to run OPD services and promised to take action against guilty people, but doctors did not return to work.
Warning of Nationwide Resignation
The Nepal Medical Association has warned that if demands are still not met after resignations of Narayani Hospital doctors, all doctors across the country will also submit collective resignation from Tuesday.
The whole incident started last Saturday when a patient of heart attack died during treatment. After the death, relatives of the patient vandalized Narayani Hospital and assaulted the doctors on duty.
