KATHMANDU, Jan 7: Talks between Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal and officials of National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS) under the Bir Hospital held Thursday could not produce any result due to the former´s busy schedule.[break]



Prime Minister Nepal, also the Chancellor of the medical body, and NAMS representatives held brief dialogue to end the agitation launched by doctors at the country´s oldest hospital.



Talking to reporters after the talks, NAMS Vice-Chancellor Dr. Chandra Prakash Maskey said the prime minister has called for another round of talks.



Director of Bir Hospital Dirgha Raj Acharya said the talks was aimed at solving the problems the hospital has been facing, not to fulfill the demands of the agitating doctors.



Resident doctors of Bir have been closing health services, including emergency, at the hospital for weeks demanding better facility and service, among others.
