Tension flares in Dadeldhura as police try to shift Dr KC



DADELDHURA: Tension ran high on the premises of Dadeldhura Hospital after the police administration tried to shift  Senior Orthopedic Dr Govinda KC, who is on a fast-onto death, to Provincial Hospital, Dhangadhi.

Doctors attending to KC had referred him to a sophisticated hospital saying that his health condition was deteriorating. His blood pressure is increasing and heartbeats are irregular.

KC’s supporters had protested against shifting KC from Dadeldhura Hospital charging that he was being shifted without any plans and against KC’s will.

Sources said preparations are underway to take Dr KC to either Bir Hospital or TU Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu and that the doctors have been informed to remain standby.

Dr KC has been on a fast-unto-death for the 17th time demanding reforms in the medical education sector.
