During the talks, Secretary at the Prime Minister´s Office Krishna Hari Baskota, Vice-Chancellor of Patan Academy of Health Sciences Dr Sangita Bhandari, Rector Prof Dr Saumya Bhattacharya and six representatives from the agitating doctors were present.
The agitating doctors had urged Secretary Baskota either to ask resignation of Vice-Chancellor and Rector or to accept the agitating doctors´ resignation.
In response, Secretary Baskota assured the solution of knotty problems by Sunday by holding talks with the Prime Minister as the issue was serious, according to Chairman of All Nepal People´s Health Worker Chattur Narayan Chaudhary.
Baskota said consensus eluded even though intensive discussions were held on the problems.
He said, "Problems in the hospital have grown acute. The problems could not be solved because none of the parties is ready to budge from its stance."
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Dr Baburam Bhattarai had directed the officials concerned to resolve the problem by issuing a three-day ultimatum.
