A large group of students, doctors and hospital employees of TUTH have been demanding the resignation of the dean of the Institute of Medicine (IoM), Dr Arun Sayami, accusing him of leaking questions in the Bachelor level entrance exams of March 13 and 14.[break]
Nepal Medical Council (NMC) has already invalidated the controversial entrance exams and recommended to the Tribhuvan University (TU) to scrap it.
At present, a total of 247 MBBS doctors are at TUTH as resident doctors to accomplish their three year M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) and M.S. (Master of Surgery) courses.
According to TUTH administration, over 3,000 patients visit its Emergency Ward and Outgoing Patients Department (OPD) every day.
