JUMLA, July 9: Health condition of Dr. Govinda KC, who is on his 10th day in his fifteenth fast-unto-death hunger strike, is deteriorating, according to Dr. Prabin Giri. KC’s immunity is decreasing while his heart beat is increasing rapidly. “At the moment, he cannot stand up to walk to the toilet.”
Signs that KC is showing include chest pain, tiredness, muscle twitches, headaches and high level of Ketone in urine. KC is under 24/7 medical supervision. In addition, depleting white blood cells has further affected his resistance and posed a challenge to save his life.
Vice Chancellor Rajendra Raj Wagle of Karnali Institute of Health Sciences said that KC was unable to speak. “We are using every resource we have at our disposal. However, if his health condition worsens, he must be transferred to a more equipped place. This, we have been urging to the government.”
The VC added that Minister for Education, Giriraj Mani Pokhrel had inquired about the health of Dr. KC from telephone. “The Minister has asked us to give the best,” Wagle said quoting Pokhrel’s conversation. “The government is expressing concerns regarding Dr. KC’s health.”
While the government has expressed its concerns regarding KC’s health, it is unwilling to discuss about his demands.
