The employees announced that all medical services except emergency will be
halted at the hospital from 1 pm today to exert pressure for the
fulfillment of their demands which include increment in salary and perks
and recruitment of more doctors and health staffs to meet the growing
pressure of patients and give efficient medical services at one of the
busiest public hospital in the country.
They said they were compelled to take this drastic measure as the
management had repeatedly turned deaf ear to their demands in the past.
The agitating employees also warned that they would be compelled to
announce strike for an indefinite period from tomorrow if their demands
are not met at the earliest.
Apart from thousands of patients referred to the hospital from all over
the country for various diseases, the hospital also receives the largest
number of accident and other emergency cases on any given day because of
its central location. nepalnews.com ag Nov 13 08
