Resident doctors have taken to the streets against the decision of Health Minister Pradeep Paudel and Education Minister Vidya Bhattarai. On Wednesday, they staged a protest at Maitighar Mandal in Kathmandu and at various hospitals across the country, according to the Safe Workplace Struggle Committee for Health Workers.

The Minister, who is also the Vice-Chairman of the Medical Education Commission, decided to provide a monthly subsistence allowance of 25,000 to 35,000 to resident doctors studying in private medical colleges. Similarly, they also decided to study subjects such as MD MS for free on the condition of working for two years. Resident doctors have said that the decision is not valid.

There is a demand for medical doctors to get a subsistence allowance equal to the eighth level (48 thousand) per month and to determine the duration of duty. The Struggle Committee has also appealed to be prepared to boycott all services except essential services if the demand is not met. Dr. the spokesman of the committee had to protest against it saying that there is labor exploitation in the medical college. Sanjay Baral said. He said that the ministry decided to insult doctors.
