Health and Population Minister Pradeep Paudel has instructed the private medical colleges to immediately implement the decision of the Medical Education Commission to provide government eighth level salary facility to resident doctors.
Minister Paudel gave this instruction in a discussion with the Nepal Physicians Association and resident physician representatives at the Ministry of Health on Thursday. The 16th meeting of the commission on January 25th decided to provide subsistence allowance according to the eighth level to resident doctors working in private medical colleges. According to the
decision, it is said that monthly salary of 48 thousand 700 rupees will be provided to resident doctors. But the doctors have been protesting for 28 days after private medical colleges did not implement the decision.
Minister Paudel has warned that any facility provided by the government to the medical college that does not implement the commission's decision will be stopped. He urged the doctors to withdraw the agitation and help the country's treatment system, promising that the government is sensitive and will move towards a solution.
He said, 'There is no need to confirm the salary of 48 thousand 700 rupees, it has been decided. There is a delay in implementation, now the mentality of not implementing should be removed. It is necessary to establish the belief that health care is a matter of pure service.'
The medical college director who disobeyed the decision regarding the minimum salary passed by the cabinet, has no morals to stay in office. Anil Karki said. He said, 'Disobeying the government's decision is illegal and irresponsible.'
dr. Karki has also asked the medical college through a circular to make arrangements for the resident doctors to be on duty for a maximum of 72 hours in a week.
The doctors have been warning to stop their services, accusing them of labor exploitation by paying only 19 thousand 500 rupees without paying the minimum salary set by the government.
