Resident doctors have warned that if they do not get the minimum subsistence allowance of 48,000 per month as per the government, they will leave their jobs and take to the streets. On Tuesday, six associations of resident doctors issued a collective statement and said that the living allowance of resident doctors working in private medical colleges should be the same as that of the government.

They demand that the seat in the medical college should be determined only by arranging a monthly subsistence allowance equal to an eighth level doctor .

The Medical Education Commission said that the seat of the medical colleges will be determined only by giving the prescribed subsistence allowance to resident doctors studying in private medical colleges. But after the instructions of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the commission has withdrawn from the said decision and proceeded with the process of seat determination .

Coordinator of Safe Workplace Struggle Committee Dr. Sesharaj Ghimire, President of National Resident Physicians Association, University Teaching Hospital, Dr. Uttam Chaulagain, President of Resident Association of Nyams Veer Hospital Dr. Dr. Sunil Aryal, Junior Resident Welfare Society Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. Manoj Acharya, President of Resident Doctor Association Patan Institute of Health Sciences Dr. Dikshant Acharya and President of Resident Doctor Vyalferyas Society Pokhara Institute of Health Sciences Dr. Bhanubhakta Dhakal has objected to the commission's decision.

They have requested to proceed with the process of seat determination only after ensuring the monthly subsistence allowance of 48,000. "If our request is ignored and the process is continued, we will be forced to leave the work and come to the streets," the statement said.

Between the struggle committee of residential doctors and the government, a decision was made on October 13, 2080 to maintain the uniformity of residential and Ernton doctors as the government . Private medical colleges have been providing subsistence allowance of only 19 to 24 thousand per month . For the implementation of the said decision, the Ministry of Health had written to the Medical Education Commission.

In the commission meeting held at the Prime Minister's residence Baluwatar on Sunday, doctors have criticized the Prime Minister for giving instructions that private medical colleges can claim seats for MD/MS without the assurance of eighth-level subsistence allowance. Allegations have been made in the statement that they are going to exploit the labor of doctors without giving them the prescribed subsistence allowance.
