Dr Govinda KC, who began a hunger strike in Ilam last Thursday demanding reforms in medical education, is being brought to Kathmandu after his health condition deteriorated.
According to Pawan Thapa, an aide to Dr KC who is currently in Ilam, he is being airlifted to Kathmandu by helicopter.
Dr KC began his hunger strike at Narayan Temple in Ilam last Thursday, accusing the government of showing little interest in addressing his demands.
He said this is his 25th hunger strike.
