Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Professor Biman Prasad has called on the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Civil Service to address the challenges stemming from a new policy regarding overtime and Time Off in Lieu (TOIL). Professor Prasad emphasized that the difficulties encountered by the radiology department are not due to a lack of funding. He believes that resolving these issues should be manageable and expresses confidence that the ministries will come together to find a solution.

As a result of the new policy changes, some hospital departments have had to reduce their operating hours, which may impact patient care and access to services.

In summary, the situation calls for prompt attention from both ministries to ensure that health services continue to operate effectively. A positive outcome from this issue could lead to improved working conditions for healthcare professionals, ultimately benefiting patient care in the long run.
