Nepali Nurses Protest Demanding Fair Pay And Benefits

Nepali nurses working at a government hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 31, 2025, take part in a protest expressing solidarity with those demanding fair pay and benefits. In a phased manner, nurses from hospitals across the Himalayan nation stage protests demanding assurance of minimum salary, allowances, and benefits. Nurses working in government hospitals now come forward expressing solidarity with those demanding pay, allowances, and benefits equal to government standards. A 15-point demand is put forward by the Nursing Association. Their demands include implementing the Ministry of Health and Population's directive dated October 10, 2025, ensuring that the minimum remuneration of health workers is not lower than that of government employees, providing allowances for additional work, ending daily-wage employment, and paying salaries and allowances through the banking system. The protesting nurses also demand recognition of skilled nursing professionals, who have long been treated as laborers, to be formally recognized and managed under the Health Act.
