PM directs concerned bodies to provide easy and smooth treatment services

 

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has directed the bodies concerned to make arrangements for providing easy and smooth treatment services at all government hospitals.

At a discussion about problems of health sectors, solutions and improvements to be done immediately held at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers on Thursday night, Prime Minister Oli urged the concerned authority to make arrangements of treatment for patients in an easy manner where the patients should not stay on a long queue.

He requested to depute doctors and health workers even after providing facilities when needed, adding the trend of asking patients to visit private clinics without conducting check-up during office hours at government hospitals should be ended.

The Prime Minister asked the bodies concerned to make health insurance practical and enforceable.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Poudel, Minister for Health and Population Pradeep Poudel, acting Chief Secretary and high-ranking officials of health ministry including health secretary were present on the occasion.
