    All private and multi-speciality hospitals will be closed on November 16. There will be no service available in any of the private hospitals for the outpatients (OPD).

    The protest of the doctors against the KPME Bill will start at 8 AM on November 16 and all services to patients, except for emergency, will be closed.
