A controversy has erupted over the selection of the executive director of the Civil Hospital in Nepal. Dr. Jitendra Pariyar, who has been shortlisted for the position, has a history of disciplinary action against him, including suspension, due to serious questions about his professional conduct and medical practice.
Dr. Pariyar was suspended in 2068 BS (2011 AD) for his role in a botched surgery at the BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital in Chitwan, where a patient’s thyroid gland was mistakenly removed instead of her uterus. The incident had sparked a huge controversy at the time.
Despite this, Dr. Pariyar’s name has been included in the shortlist of six candidates for the executive director position at the Civil Hospital. The selection committee, headed by the Chief Secretary of the Government of Nepal, has been criticized for its decision, with many questioning the criteria used for the selection.
The Nepal Medical Council has also received a complaint against Dr. Pariyar, and an investigation is underway. The council has asked for information about Dr. Pariyar’s past conduct and the disciplinary actions taken against him.
The selection of the executive director of the Civil Hospital has been a subject of controversy, with many accusing the government of favoritism and lack of transparency. The hospital’s administration has been criticized for its handling of the selection process, with many questioning the qualifications and suitability of the shortlisted candidates.
The controversy has sparked a debate about the need for transparency and accountability in the selection process for key positions in government-run hospitals. Many are calling for a more rigorous and transparent selection process to ensure that the best candidates are selected for the job.
