It is our destiny that patients do not get proper treatment and even if they get it, they become victims of negligence. The failure of our state system is illustrated by the tendency of doctors to stop the service and cause more suffering to the people while seeking justice against the negligence of doctors.
It is a bitter reality that patients have lost their lives or suffered more bodily harm due to the negligence of health workers, but due to the lack of coordination between the medical council and the consumer court, the victims have not been able to get justice. The doctor's argument that the 'punishment has been severe' is not only ridiculous but also irresponsible. How can the doctor who plays with the patient's life be given immunity? Stopping the service when the court orders the victim to pay compensation is also a mockery of the rule of law.

There is a hospital, there are doctors, but treatment services are not available. How surprising is this? Some of the patients who went for treatment at Teaching, Veer Hospital have returned from the hospital gate, is this not unfair to them? Some of the patients who came from the district to the capital to get better treatment have been disappointed. Who will take charge of it? Where is the government? don't know
At the call of the Nepal Doctors Association, doctors have started a protest by stopping all services except emergency services in health institutions across the country. Why did the doctors protest, should the government not be involved in solving it? Where do patients go for treatment after the hospital is closed? In an expensive city like the capital, there is neither affordable accommodation nor food. Patients who have come to get treatment after paying off their debts are doing bilauna in front of the doctor. Neither the doctor listens to them, nor the government.
