I agree with you completely, Yes no doubt Nepal is in deep shit and is drowning even more, by the corrupt government that we have, and apparently who ever comes to power are corrupt on the process. To come on the top it seems as if people have to learn to misuse power along the way. You cannot go among a pack of thieves wearing a police dress, you have to look like one of them and in the process you become one of them, obviously. And this concept is very wrong.

 

Paying off loans of the country is a long term process, but this should not mean that we cannot make our system better in the process. There are many sick people who cannot afford the medicine and the treatment and have no other choice but to live with it and wait for death to take over. And there are many people in Nepal who have enough money to teat themselves, even in foreign countries among the best hospital and doctors.

 

We both can agree that where there is poor to the ground there also are rich till the sky, because rich exist because of the poor. If not just absorb the difference between rich and poor from the different country of the world. I may be wrong but at least that is how I see it.

 

I also agree that we need more doctors and hospitals in Nepal, may be not completely free to start with but at least so cheap that any one can effort it, Like i.e the poor pays very less amount or no amount depending on his social condition, and the rich pay the full price by this way they also are paying for the poor. And of course the hospital should have the best doctor and latest equipments to attract also the rich patients. Why this difference if you ask me then I can only say that because no matter what we can all agree on that there is a difference in people in Nepal, and we even talk about it. But do nothing positive about it.

 

If our government and maosist have the finance to buy deadly weapon to kill each other then they also must have a finance of building hospitals and the maosist soldiers as a work employer to build this instead, and use the money which is for buying artillery for the salary for the employee of this project.

I have heard that lot of Nepali doctor leave the country and are washing dishes aboard.

 

Buying weapons is no good for the country, why coz if we are in war we cannot win the war in this modern world with these modern technology and two large countries in the top and the bottom both with nuclear weapons. Why we are not so clever instead to use this advantage of the both countries as we all know that both India and China hates each other not officially but they both have this ego and we in the middle could have use this as an advantage for our self.

 

But I agree that if the system is corrupt then any project to function properly is difficult.
