23 July, Dhangadhi:
Treatment service has been affected at the Geta Eye Hospital in Kailali after the employees launched agitation to protest the monopoly of the hospital management. The services remain halted for a week now causing inconvenience to the many patients.
Security personnel have been mobilized at hospital premises for the past few days after treatment service at the hospital disrupted due to employees’ agitation.
The employees complained that Hospital Director, Dr Bidhya Prasad Panta, carried out different activities like appointing new employees, providing services and facilities, among others in a monopolistic manner.
The employees started the agitation by halting treatment services demanding reinstatement of a technician, Pushkar Sharma, working at hospital on contract basis. The hospital management had removed Sharma from service recently.
Before this, two doctors working at the hospital were also given retirement from their job, said employees.
They also demanded resignation of the hospital director, citing director Panta misbehaved to them by calling police force to suppress their peaceful agitation. The hospital was established 35 years ago. RSS
