The BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences in Dharan has dismissed five employees and taken departmental action against three others for acting against the institution's rules.
According to the institute's registrar, Prof. Dr. Surya Prasad Sangraula, the person to be dismissed is the institute's gynecologist and former registrar, Prof. Dr. Mohantandra Regmi. Regmi was appointed as the director of the Civil Hospital in Kathmandu while working at the institute. He had been employed for two years, but after the end of his employment period, he did not report to the institute, so he was dismissed as per the decision of the executive committee, Registrar Sangraula said.
Assistant Professor of the institute's School of Public Health and Community Medicine and Dr. Regmi's wife Laxmi Subedi has also been dismissed. Registrar Sangraula said that Subedi was also dismissed after it was confirmed that she had gone abroad against the rules without being granted study leave.
Similarly, other employees of the institute, Diran Bhattarai and Suren Basfor, have also been dismissed. Registrar Sangraula said that the employees were dismissed on charges of negligence, violation of administrative rules and undisciplined behavior.
Similarly, departmental action has been taken against the head of the Department of Orthopedics, Dr. Roshan Kalwar and Branch Officer Kantalal Chaudhary by reducing them by one grade. The institute has stated that action has been taken accordingly after they were found to have misused their positions and acted against internal rules.
Another employee of the institute, Shyam Lamsal, has been found to have violated the rules during his promotion from associate professor to professor. He is the registrar of Rapti Institute of Health Sciences, Ghorahi, Dang. According to the institute's rules, to be promoted to professor, one must have worked as an associate professor in the institute for at least 6 years and in the case of an external institution, one must have worked as an associate professor for 7 years. However, it has been found that Lamsal completed the promotion process before completing his service period.
It is said that he resigned after the investigation was conducted after complaints were filed with the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority, the Vigilance Center and the Ministry of Health, and it was found that his service period had not been completed. Registrar Sangraula informed that the executive committee had decided to reduce him by two levels from the professorship given to him and provide some service facilities and accepted his resignation.
According to Registrar Sangraula, more than a dozen other doctors who were working against the rules within the institution are also being investigated and action is being prepared against them. 'We are taking necessary steps to maintain the credibility and discipline of the institution,' Sangraula said, 'No one is allowed to work against the rules and the main thing is that the officials have to work according to the rules.'
The institution has launched a strict reform campaign in recent years, saying that the dignity of the institution has been damaged due to increasing administrative irregularities, violations of rules and pressure from influential people.
