KATHMANDU Staff nurse Jyoti Ranabhat has been on hunger strike for the sixth consecutive day, demanding fair pay, an end to labour exploitation, and better nursing education standards. Her health has since deteriorated, and she is now in Bir Hospital's ICU. In solidarity, nurses and health workers held a peaceful protest at the hospital on Tuesday, carrying placards reading, 'Not just the government, even patients don't respect us' and 'Raise our salary, not our blood pressure.'
