The United Kingdom has reassured the Government of Nepal that it is fully committed to supporting the country in achieving its goal of becoming a developing nation by 2026. During a recent meeting with the Health and Population Minister of Nepal, Padam Giri, the British Ambassador to Nepal, Nicola Pollitt, emphasized the British government’s dedication to bringing new programs and initiatives to the country.
Support for Bhaktapur and Paschimanchal Hospitals
One of the key initiatives outlined by the ambassador was funding for the retrofitting of Bhaktapur Hospital and Paschimanchal Hospital. The United Kingdom recognizes the significance of quality healthcare in driving a country’s development and has, therefore, made it a priority. The funding will be used to upgrade the facilities, ensuring that they provide better healthcare services to the people of Nepal.
Cooperation During the Covid Pandemic
Minister Giri expressed his gratitude to the ambassador and the UK government for their support during the Covid pandemic. The health minister emphasized the importance of continued cooperation in ensuring that Nepal’s healthcare system remains strong and resilient, especially during times of crisis. The UK’s support during the pandemic has been instrumental in helping Nepal to effectively manage the spread of the virus and provide medical care to those who need it.
Implementation of the Nepal Health Sector Strategic Plan
In addition to the support provided to healthcare facilities, the health minister also highlighted the importance of the implementation of the Nepal Health Sector Strategic Plan. The plan is aimed at improving the overall health system in the country and making healthcare services more accessible to the people of Nepal. The British government has been supportive of the plan and is expected to continue its support to ensure its successful implementation.
