KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepali doctors continued their strike action on Thursday over increasing attacks by relatives when patients die under treatment.
The closure left thousands of patients without medical treatment for a second day in a row and forced hospitals and nursing homes to close.
Dr Choplal Bhusal, president of the Nepal Medical Association, said some 6,500 doctors working in private and public hospitals were involved in the strike. Emergency services were spared.
"The government must ensure security to doctors in work," Bhusal said.
Last week, relatives of a patient who died in a hospital in Kathmandu threatened to attack a doctor, accusing him of negligence.
