Health Minister Gagan Thapa to cut down foreign medical check-up

Minister for Health Gagan Thapa on Thursday met Ganga Maya Adhikari, who has been staging a fast-unto-death at the Bir Hospital demanding action against murderers of her son, while he inspected the oldest hospital of Nepal. As the Minister met her, Adhikari demanded that the government take immediate initiatives to bring murderers of her teenage son, Krishna Prasad, be brought to book. Krishna Prasad was apparently murdered by the then Maoist combatants in Chitwan district in June 2004.
