Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital professor and senior orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Govinda KC, has warned of staging another hunger strike, claiming that the government has not implemented the four-point agreement that was reached with him earlier in July.

Dr KC said the government has not shown any seriousness towards reforming the country’s health sector.
