Dr. KC sat on his Eleventh fast unto death from 24 July 2017 with seven point demand of medical education reformation. He has demanded to incorporate the Kedar Bhakta Mathema led committee’s recommendation in the forthcoming Medical Education Bill.
DEMANDS
- Passage of Medical Education Act immediately in line with the Mathema taskforce report and our suggestions.
- Following actions be taken to stop the irregularities in the medical education sector:
- Appoint assistant dean and campus chief immediately as per the recommendation of IOM dean.
- Grant more autonomy to IOM as per previous agreement and transfer the authority from TU executive council to IOM to fix the number of seats of medical colleges, fix fees and grant affiliations.
- Scrap the permission of medical colleges that defy the government’s directive and court order.
- Until the formation of Medical Education Commission, the fees of medical education at all levels should be fixed by the government instead of the university.
- Just like at Kathmandu University the fee for MD, MS and MDS should be fixed at Rs 2.2 million at all private colleges from this academic calendar.
- Immediately dismiss the TU officials responsible for bringing chaos to the IOM by not filling vacant positions, snatching away the authority of IOM, and fixing high fees in unjustified manner.
