Kathmandu, March 23: Doctors of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), who had been halting OPD services since last week, have stopped providing emergency services, too, from Tuesday.
Doctors including the faculty and students of Institute of Medicine (IOM), Maharajgunj College had started their agitation demanding the resignation of Dean and Assistant Dean claiming there had been irregularities in the entrance examinations for MD and MS conducted a week ago. The doctors had provided OPD services in the hostel and college premises as a form of protest for a few days.
They claim the questions of the entrance exam had been leaked before the exams and that the Dean and the Assistant Dean were involved in leaking the questions in exchange of bribes.
Thousands of patients have been affected due to the doctors' agitation. TUTH is considered a good hospital among the government hospitals.
About 1000 to 1200 patients visit the hospital every day.
