Kathmandu, July 9

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli wants to hold talks with medical education reform activist Dr Govinda KC, who is on a hunger strike demanding medial reforms at Karnali Academy of Health Sciences in Jumla.

According to sources, the Prime Minister is ready to hold talks with Dr KC over the phone.

The Prime Minister’s Secretariat has requested the Nepal Medical Association, the umbrella organisation Nepali medical doctors, to create the environment for the talks.

Accordingly, President of the Association, Dr Mukti Ram Shrestha, has conveyed the Secretariat’s message to Dr KC.

However, no phone call has been received yet, informed Dr Kishore KC, who is attending to Dr KC in Jumla.

Meanwhile, the Association held a meeting with Prime Minister Oli on Sunday evening demanding that the government take initiatives to save the life of Dr KC.

The Association had also warned of shutting all services except emergency if the government fails to take any step within 72 hours.
