I am thankful to everyone who believed in my quest for truth and justice. It is your love and support that kept me alive for the past 14 days. I had no other option than to put my life at stake to raise awareness about the corruption and commercialisation that is rampant in our medical sector and press for major reforms.
The last two weeks were turbulent for my beloved Institute of Medicine as well as ordinary Nepalis. Doctors from across the country showed their support for my cause and I am well aware about far reaching consequences on the public caused by the disruption of medical services.
Following the government’s commitment to address the issues that plague our medical schools and hospital, I have decided to end my fast-unto-death. But unless these commitments are fulfilled and my demands properly addressed, my fight will continue. I hope to receive the same support in the future.
Once again I would like to thank everyone including Nepal Medical Association, students, the media, and all my well-wishers who expressed solidarity and prayed for my good health.
Thank you
