We are with Dr. KC

Dr. Govinda KC, a professor of orthopedics at the Institute of Medicine (Nepal) and a prominent campaigner against the corruptions has in the last five years spent over 100 days on hunger strike, seeking reforms in vital medical institutions. But his fight for change remains unfinished. Again he begins his indefinite fast-unto-death as the government heavily influenced by corrupt politicians and merchants with the wrong intention tried with all means to let the medical colleges go unregulated.
The Government of Nepal seems to be taking his legitimate protest lightly. Dr. KC is firm on continuing the fast-unto-death until the government takes a concrete decision to address the demands. Social sector activists, medical professionals, students, and citizens are coming together to support Dr. KC in his crusade against medical irregularities and corruption in the country (Nepal).
