Kathmandu – In the days following the publication of a revealing investigative report by Nepalaaja.com, a palpable silence has descended upon the bustling corridors of Nepal Medical College (NMC). What was once a center of academic and medical activity now finds itself in the grip of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Staff members, once busy in their daily routines, now walk the halls cautiously, their faces clouded by an unspoken question: “What happens next?”

At the center of this unfolding crisis is a female nurse described by multiple insiders as unusually influential within the institution. Allegations have surfaced suggesting that she may be working without a valid nursing license recognized in Nepal. Following the publication of these claims, the individual in question has reportedly been under severe mental distress. However, within NMC, she remains a figure of quiet power — with one staff member anonymously commenting, “The bosses walk around clinging to her scarf.”

While her nationality remains unverified, whispers of her being an Indian citizen have intensified scrutiny. The nature of her relationship with senior administrators has become the subject of much internal debate, especially as claims of special treatment continue to fuel staff discontent.

Emergency Meetings and a Culture of Suppression

In response to the media fallout, NMC’s Chairman and Managing Director reportedly convened an emergency meeting to craft a communication strategy to “handle” the press. According to internal sources, during this time the Medical Director allegedly issued direct threats to Nepalaaja.com's editor — a chilling development for a democratic society that values press freedom.

Adding to the atmosphere of fear, the administration has reportedly ordered staff not to speak with journalists and has instructed security to monitor any media personnel entering the hospital premises. The result has been a lockdown on open communication — a gag order that stifles the very transparency a healthcare institution should be committed to.

Regulatory Watchdogs Stir as Bribery Claims Surface

The Medical Education Commission (MEC) has been alerted to the developments and is said to be preparing an inspection of NMC’s operations. However, insiders allege that NMC’s leadership is actively working behind the scenes to “manage” the inspection — potentially through significant bribes. Reports indicate the college lacks the necessary infrastructure, patient flow, and qualified personnel to meet national standards. One insider remarked, “If even the nurses are unqualified, who’s to say the doctors aren’t too?”

The concern isn’t hypothetical. A whistleblower told Nepalaaja.com, “I can’t talk right now. The MD madam has me under surveillance. Let’s meet quietly later.” The weight of this fear — silent but suffocating — speaks volumes about the internal climate at NMC.

Faculty Exploitation: An Open Violation of Labor Law

In a shocking revelation, Nepalaaja.com uncovered that some NMC professors are receiving a monthly salary as low as NPR 10,000. This figure not only undercuts Nepal’s 2074 Labor Act — which mandates a minimum wage of NPR 18,000 — but also exposes the deliberate exploitation of educators. For reference, the standard starting salary for medical professors in Nepal is around NPR 60,000, of which at least 60% (or NPR 36,000) should be provided as take-home pay.

But at NMC, the situation is alarmingly different. Employees report being threatened with demotion or dismissal if they protest. Others describe a culture where silence is bought with fear — where dignity is a luxury few can afford.

Dental Staff Purged Under Pretense

The Dental Department at NMC was reportedly “technically dissolved,” yet this appears to be less an academic restructuring and more a targeted purge. Permanent staff were allegedly harassed and pressured into resigning. Their positions were later refilled on contract — no transparency, no due process.

“They told us, ‘Speak up and your job is gone. Stay quiet and your pride is gone,’” said one former staff member. Within NMC, this isn’t policy — it’s power play.

Personal Ties, Preferential Treatment

Beyond structural and legal violations, what’s increasingly troubling is the influence of personal relationships in shaping institutional operations. At the heart of this concern is a close personal relationship between a high-ranking male administrator and the previously mentioned female nurse. Staff report that her access to restricted areas, her say in operational matters, and her prolonged private meetings with senior figures are widely observed.

“This isn’t a question of private romance,” one nurse confided. “It’s about favoritism that disrupts fairness and accountability.” When relationships influence policy, impartial governance erodes — and NMC’s reputation along with it.

Legal Advice or Power Games?

Adding another layer to this institutional entanglement is the reported influence of an unqualified legal advisor whose guidance is said to shape many of NMC’s aggressive policies. According to multiple insiders, this advisor has emboldened leadership to threaten journalists, suppress internal dissent, and mock regulatory warnings.

Shielded by this counsel, NMC’s Chairman Prof. Dr. Jainuddin Ansari and Managing Director Dr. Sabiha Yashmine (father and daughter) have been heard boasting, “No one can touch us — we have reach, we have resources.” In practice, NMC increasingly resembles a tightly run business empire rather than an institution of public service.

From Underworld to Prime Minister’s Name?

Most disturbing, however, is the reported shift in how the institution asserts its immunity. Previously, staff and media were reportedly threatened using the underworld’s name. Now, NMC leadership is said to boast of their connection to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, allegedly declaring:
“We’re Oli’s people — we can do anything in Nepal.”

Such statements, if true, represent a dangerous conflation of political power and institutional impunity. It raises the question: If political connections can shield malpractice, who protects public interest?

Final Word: Fear Doesn’t Silence Truth

Nepal Medical College — once envisioned as a cornerstone of health and education — now stands accused of corruption, nepotism, exploitation, and intimidation. Yet amid threats, surveillance, and administrative pressure, Nepalaaja.comremains committed to truth.

We affirm that all sources involved in this report have been and will continue to be protected with the utmost confidentiality — regardless of mounting pressure from NMC’s management or political entities.
Our mission is clear: to speak what must be spoken, and to defend those who cannot speak for themselves.

More to follow.
