ONLY, You are right. WE need to get along and give pressure to the government all at once. One or two voices won't matter to them.

KHOTANG—With its doctor absent, the district hospital has been unable to treat people for the past two weeks. Out of the three designated posts, the doctor has left for a workshop in Biratnagar and the hospital does not have a single trained medical professional. There are no doctors in Ainselukhar or Chisapani since the establishment of health centres—instead, health assistants are running these centres. In most of the district’s health centres, posts are vacant. The vacant posts include one medical supervisor, one medical assistant, nine health assistants, five staff nurses, two lab technicians, nine auxiliary health workers, five auxiliary nurse/midwife, eight rural health workers and 15 maternal child health worker.

PALPA—He hasn’t studied radiography or any other profession and from the government office all he gets is a peon’s salary. But since July 2004, peon Karki has been working as the radiographer, dark room assistant and has even been taking x-rays. Karki, who continues to do the cleaning, says he has been interested in radiography for the past seven years. “I used to observe how the sirs used to do it and then they would answer my questions in simple language so that I understood how it is done,” he explains.

SALYAN—Ever since the x-ray machine in the district hospital broke down, locals have faced a problem—they must go to Nepalganj for x-rays. The hospital called in an engineer from Delhi but he was unable to fix it and said it could only be repaired in India. This will cost Rs 80,000, money that the hospital does not have.

Above are only some examples, out of thousands, that are the hard facts of nepal to digest. On one hand, the situation of Nepal is like above and on the other hand, Ministry of Health and Nepal Medical Council are proud for being able to bully medical students and new medical graduates.

पर्वत, फागुन २४ - सरुवापछि अर्को व्यवस्था नहुँदा चार उपस्वास्थ्य चौकी लामो समयदेखि अहेवविहीन भएका छन् । अहेवविहीन भएपछि स्थानीयबासी स्वास्थ्योपचारबाट वञ्चित भएका छन् ।
विभागले सरुवा गरेपछि खौलालाँकुुरी, चित्रे, थापाठाना र सरौखोलाका उपस्वास्थ्य चौकी अहेवविहीन भएका हुुन् । स्वास्थ्य संस्था खाली हुुनुुमा स्वास्थ्य विभाग र क्षेत्र प्रमुुखको मुुख्य हात रहने स्वास्थ्य कार्यालय स्रोतले बतायो ।

स्रोतका अनुुसार विभाग र क्षेत्रले सरुवा गराउने तर अर्को नपठाउँदा समस्या उत्पन्न हुुन्छ ।

अहेव व्यवस्थाका लागि पटकपटक डेलिगेसन जादा पनि स्वास्थ्य कार्यालयले वास्ता नगरेको स्थानीयवासीले गुुनासो गरेका छन् । चित्रे गाविसका सचिव भूमिराज शर्माले अहेव अभावमा गाउँवासी सामान्य औषधोपचारका लागि सयौं रुपैयाँ र दिनभर समय खर्चेर सदरमुुकाम कुुश्मा पुुग्नुुपर्ने बाध्यतामा रहेको बताए ।

अहेवविहीन उपस्वास्थ्य चौकीमा पियन, ग्रामीण स्वास्थ्य कार्याकर्ता र मासिकामात्र छन् । सरौखोलामा त ग्रामीण स्वास्थ्य कार्यकर्ता पनि छैनन् । त्यहाँ कार्यरतलाई छिमेकी होस्राङ्दी स्वास्थ्य चौकीमा खटाइएपछि माशिका र पियनले मात्र चलाउँदै आएका छन् । अर्कोतर्फ आफ्नै भवन नभएकाले सञ्चालनमा समेत अप्ठेरो परेको माशिका दुुर्गा शर्मा बताउँछिन् । माओवादीका कारण गाविस सचिव सदरमुुकाममा बस्दै आएका र गाविस भवन प्रयोगविहीन भएकाले स्थानीयवासीले घाँसपराल राख्न थालेका छन् । माथिल्लो तलामा घाँसपराल राखिएपछि औषधिलगायतका सामान मुुसाले काट्ने गरेको दुुर्गा शर्माले बताइन् ।

Thanks kanchan for the information... really its very miserable..

काठमाडौं, फागुन २५ - अस्पताल तथा स्वास्थ्य अनुसन्धान केन्द्रका रूपमा सञ्चालित अधिकांश संस्थाले सर्वसाधारणालाई झुक्याएको र राजस्व छलेको एक अध्ययनले देखाएको छ ।
नेपाल स्वास्थ्य अनुसन्धान परिषद्ले ३ महिनाको अध्ययनपछि तयार पारेको प्रतिवेदनमा यसबारे उल्लेख छ । 'अनुसन्धान केन्द्रका रूपमा स्थापित अधिकांश संस्थाले आमजनतालाई झुक्याउने र सरकारको राजस्व छल्ने गरेका छन्,' परिषद्का सदस्यसचिव डा. शंकरप्रताप सिंहले भन्नुभयो- 'उपत्यकालगायत देशभर दर्ता भएका स्वास्थ्य अनुसन्धान केन्द्रमध्ये ७६ दशमलव ५ प्रतिशतले अनुसन्धान गर्दैनन् ।'

'करिब १५ प्रतिशतभन्दा कम स्वास्थ्य सम्बद्घ केन्द्रले आपmनो बोर्डमा अनुसन्धान केन्द्र लेखे पनि अनुसन्धानको अर्थसमेत जानेका छैनन्,' प्रतिवेदनमा उल्लेख

छ ।

अनुसन्धान केन्द्र निरीक्षण गर्दा उनीहरूले दिसा, पिसाब र रगत परीक्षण नियमित रूपमा गर्नु नै अनुसन्धान भएको बताएको समेत प्रतिवेदनमा छ । अस्पतालको बोर्डमा अनुसन्धान केन्द्रसमेत उल्लेख गर्दा सर्वसाधारण राम्रो सुविधा पाइने ठानेर झुक्किने गरेको अध्ययनको निष्कर्ष छ ।

उपत्यकाका नर्भिक हेल्थ केयर एन्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर, ॐ हस्पिटल एन्ड रिसर्च सेन्टर, मेडिकेयर हस्पिटल एन्ड रिसर्च सेन्टरलगायतले आफूलाई अनुसन्धान केन्द्र भने पनि अध्ययन टोलीलाई त्यहाँ भएका अनुसन्धानबारे जानकारी नदिएको जनाइएको छ । परिषद्का सदस्यसचिव डा. सिंहले ती अस्पतालले अनुसन्धान गरेको परिषद्सँग कुनै प्रमाण नरहेको जनाउनुभयो ।

गत वैशाखसम्ममा मुलुकभर ३ सय ६७ यस्ता संस्था दर्ता छन् । ४० जिल्लामा स्वास्थ्य अनुसन्धान केन्द्र भएकामा उपत्यकामा मात्रै यिनको संख्या २ सय ५० छ ।

यी संस्थाले विदेशबाट विभिन्न सामान आयात गर्दा अनुसन्धानका नाउँमा राजस्वसमेत छल्ने गरेको जनाइएको छ ।

कतिपयले अनुसन्धान केन्द्रका नाउँमा सस्तोमा उपकरण ल्याएर अन्य व्यावसायिक निकायलाई बेच्ने गरेको स्रोतले बतायो ।

Seeing some prints of news about the conditions of hospitals/health posts and research institutions of nepal, a layman understands that there are not enough doctors or professionals to carry out clinical works or research works. Those present are only centered in big cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Chitwan, nepalgunj etc. In district headquarters and other parts there are no services or even enough medicine for minor illness. Situation has become worse due to extremism.
News information in dailies carries the messages that even the remotest areas have health centers and some even well equiped, but no one to run those facilities and start the clinical services. And, the fact of the absence of research works even in the centers which were believed to be the best, have shattered aspirations of newely produced doctors, medical students and most importantly common people who have strong faith.
Underdeveloped parts of Nepal and developed cities both do not have enough clinical facilities. Then, what do we have? What do we need? What should Health Ministry do? What will young medical graduates do? what?????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????

Corruption!!! Its the main obstacle in the way of Development of Nepal. Its is not going to be easy to eradicate corruption which finally means it is not going to be easy for Nepal to get Developed.

kanchan,
With due respect and sympathy to your cause i beg to differ with you here.As i have written in my previous post of this thread, all doctors who have passed NMLE are equal regardless from the country they earned their degree from.
But as the thread has continued on this issue, i think you are sliding into intellectual manipulation.What relevance does your recently posted stories from Kantipur hold on this issue? Do you think there are less doctors in the remote areas because some doctors in ktm have partial feeling towards foreign grads,these two issues are poles apart and have no interrelationship.
There are already hundreds of unemployed doctors in KTM,for many of them even getting a volunteer job is a luxury,that includes many doctors from Nepali med.school itself and many of them are interested in going to the villages to work.But our government takes new doctors only once in few months and the process itself takes many months to finalise.There is also the issue of security,recently a friend of mine,a dr and the district health incharge was looted by maoists in his own room in a remote district so obviously drs would be reluctant to go there.Its the issue of management and not lack of manpower that is hurting our country right now!!
Finally:The best way to show that u are good is on the exams brother.Get into the top five in the TUTH entrance,get through the Dharan PG exam,our whole medical fraternity looks at these results with interest.When we passed out as the first few batches of the private medical colleges in Nepal we too were jeered at, and as we proved our worth,the same people who critisized our colleges lined up to heap praise for us.That is the right way to do it friend rather than looking for an article here or a write up there to garner sympathy.

In my first post, I had quoted "traditional mentality". I would like to elaborate it little more here, seeing its relevance. Well, to those who think examinations and entrances are the only gates to become best in nepal, I have no arguments. If our desires and determinations are there with us to do something useful for our nepal, by any means, I think that matters most for me. The question of becoming tops in exams have not necessarily solved all the problems that we are facing in nepal today and that will be insignificant to discuss here .
The main purpose of picking articles on kantipur was not to slide away from main purpose, but to raise question amongst ourselves. On one hand, we think that by being educated in our medical schools, we will become perfect doctors to solve all the problems, but on the other hand, there are challanges being faced everyday by our colleagues or people who seek help from us. If anybody picks those kantipur or other newspaper, almost everyday, similar news about health conditions can be found in different villages and cities of nepal. Those issues will totally give impression that there is nothing being done or tried to actually relieve our sufferings. Therefore, nepal still needs more doctors, doctors who can say why we have illness not only those who can say we have illness.
