KATHMANDU: The crisis at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) was resolved after 18 days following a strike by the resident doctors and faculty of TU's Maharajgunj Medical College after talks were held at the Ministry of Education on Wednesday.

Emerging from the meeting Dr Kabirnath Yogi, chairman of the Faculty of Doctors Association of the TUTH said their strike ended with the decision to open the hospital from tomorrow and informed that a new five member probe has been formed for the irregularities in the examination of the MS and MD in TUTH.
