KATHMANDU. The editors of different media houses in the capital have expressed solidarity with Dr Govinda KC, a senior orthopedic surgeon at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), on Thursday.
Issuing a press statement following the meeting with Dr KC at TUTH today, the editors have urged the government to save Dr KC’s life by addressing his demands at the earliest.
“We express our solidarity with Dr Govinda KC, a senior orthopedic surgeon and professor at TUTH, who has been staging hunger strike for the last 19 days demanding end to discrepancies in the medical sector. Meanwhile, we are equally worried by the indifference shown toward KC’s demand by the government,” the editors said in the statement.
