Nepal\u2019s renowned surgeon and social activist KC Govind has written an open letter to lawmakers!<\/p>\n
While the Nepal Government<\/a> is seriously preparing on the National Medical Education Bill endorsement<\/a>, Govind wrote an open letter citing gaps in the recommendations being endorsed.<\/p>\n In his letter to lawmakers, Govind urged lawmakers to make necessary corrections to the changes made by the parliamentary panel concerned.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cI hope that the representatives\u2019 body will not be misled or prejudiced by those who change their stance at their convenience,\u201d Dr KC<\/span> said in his letter, urging lawmakers to fight for people and students-friendly bill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n KC argues that the concerned panel of the House of Representatives panel endorsed the Bill without incorporating the nine-point agreement that the government had signed with him on July 26, 2018.<\/p>\n He said the proposed Bill has completely failed to welcome the much-awaited reforms needed in the medical educational sector.<\/p>\n \u201cI do not want to believe that the agreement I had signed with the government was a sham. I think you lawmakers agree with me. If it was a sham, we\u2019ll have to fight against such betrayal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Supporting KC \u2018s moves, a civil society members group also said that it would undertake activism under the leadership of former chief justice Sushila Karki.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the heat over the Bill has intensified in Nepal Parliament on January 25, 2019 with opposition and the ruling parties defying each other on the endorsement.<\/p>\n With the situation going beyond control, riot police gathered at the parliament building in New Baneshwor to stop protests that followed debates between ruling and opposition leaders over restarting the stalled house proceedings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nepal\u2019s renowned surgeon and social activist KC Govind has written an open letter to lawmakers!
