Kanti OPD closed

KATHMANDU: A meeting of the Kanti Children’s Hospital Development Committee held on Monday decided to close down the out-patient department (OPD) service of the Hospital from Tuesday. The decision was taken to protest the mistreatment of doctors by parents and relatives of eight-month-old Nischit Dulal, who died while undergoing treatment at the Hospital on Monday. The meeting also demanded that the government take action against those who manhandled the doctors. The hospital has denied any wrongdoing on the part of doctors involved in the treatment of the child. The child was brought to the Kanti hospital for treatment on Saturday. He died at 2:30 pm on Monday.
