Worthy
Infrastructure Apropos your cover story "Boon or Bane?" (Spotlight April 28), it
is indeed a good thing that at last a big health infrastructure has been developed outside
the capital valley. In fact, the development of BP Koirala Institute of Health
Sciences could turn out to be a shrewd investment in the long run. But for that the
Institute with the able support from authorities should deliver reliable services to carve
its own niche in the field of medical excellence in this region. Sudha
Bista Develop
Expertise If managed prudently, the BP Koirala Institute of Health Science can produce
the much-needed health experts for the country (Boon or Bane? Spotlight April 28). As the
institute enjoys modern infrastructures, it is now up to the management to make the best
use of the available resources. If the hospital succeeds to provide quality service and
expertise, the huge amount of money spent to build it, will be well invested. Hari
Krishna Parajuli Justify
The Investment The government has to justify investing such a huge amount of money to build
a single hospital (Boon or Bane? Spotlight April 28). With the amount of money invested in
building BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, the government could have built five
different hospitals each in the five development region. That would have been much wiser
and would have offered service to large segment of Nepalese population. As it is, the
BPKIHS can offer service to people from only the eastern parts of the country while those
from mid-west and far-west regions will still be groping for basic health facilities. And
topping the problem, the Institute as suggested by your article, could become another
white elephant if the politicians exploit it to further their vested interests. Rishi
Pudasaini No
Political Prejudice, Please Instead of diverting a large chunk of health budget to develop a single
institution, the government could have done well by distributing its resources not only to
develop new infrastructure but also to improve the qualities of other hospitals in the
country (Boon or Bane Spotlight April 28). Anyway, now that the BPKIHS is already built,
the government of the country, whether it be headed by Nepali Congress or any other party,
should not let its political prejudices surface while furthering the instituteís
capacity. It is the set practice in this country that if one political partyís government
develops some infrastructure, another government by another party will not support it,
rather it develops its own. This sort of childish and immature political behavior should
end in this country. By this extension, I want to stress that since BPKIHS was a pet
project of Nepali Congress - particularly the Girija Prasad Koirala, it is feared that the
opposition party UML may want to hinder its development once it comes to power. I
earnestly hope that UML would shed off its political color when dealing with country's
health. Pradeep
Karki Stop
Blaming Each Other This refers to Revelation, -- the interview with Mr. Keshav Sthapit
(Spotlight April 21). Politicians and higher administrative officials of Nepal, isn't it
high time that you all stopped this blaming business? Instead of blaming one another, it
would be wiser to spend your time, intellect and money on the development of the
country. Instead of accumulating wealth for yourselves, work for the country, just
do it! You have to join hands and we the citizens will follow you in the upward climb
towards the overall development of the country. Moheindu
Chemjong, RNAC -
Epitome Of Irregularities Hardly a day passes by without some news of irregularities in the Royal Nepal
Airlines Corporation (Bone Of Contention Spotlight April 21). It seems the RNAC management
is neck-deep into irregularities and corruption and every time the corporation has to
lease aircrafts they slide down further. So many ministers and government officials have
made a clean breast about the ugly happenings within the national flag carrier and yet
there is no respite in sight. The people are in confusion. What are we people expected to
do -- just listen to the corruption stories? Binaya
