Behind the stethoscope: How Nepal became battlegrounds for doctors!
["People'S Review"]
Peoples' Review
The modern medical ecosystem in Nepal presents a fraught reality where young doctors navigate systemic instability, physical danger, and economic vulnerability daily.
Workplace violence against medical staff in Nepal has escalated from an occasional tragedy into a terrifying occupational hazard.
The reality facing doctors, particularly junior medical officers, interns, and residents are defined by a multi-layered crisis of physical safety, economic exploitation, and structural systemic failures.
Doctors routinely endure 24- to 36-hour continuous duty shifts without mandatory rest periods, far exceeding legal labour guidelines.
Struggle committees formed by young doctors are actively protesting to demand enforcement of the Labour Act.
