KATHMANDU, July 9: The Marie Stopes Clinic has provided Rs 800,000 in compensation to Dan Bahadur Shahi, the husband of 38-year-old Kamala, who died on Wednesday due to complications from surgical sterilization carried out by a Marie Stopes clinic in Bardiya six months ago.
Apart from the sum, the clinic has provided cremation expenses to Dan Bahadur, according to his cousin Bhupendra Shahi. Dan Bahadur has also been offered a job at Marie Stopes Clinic, Bardiya.
