Kathmandu, February 27
The Ministry of Health has established a health desk at Singhadarbar, the country’s central administrative complex, for the service of government officials and staff working at various ministries.
Chief Secretary Lok Darshan Regmi inaugurated the desk on the occasion of sixth Health Service Day today.
Speaking at the function, Regmi said, “Human resources in a large number are working at the central secretariat. Many service recipients come here for services. Health problems are likely at such place anytime. Therefore, we have opened the health desk.”
Meanwhile, Bir Hospital’s Director Dr Bhupendra Basnet said, “No staff need to go out for health checkup from Singhadarbar.”
The desk will provide first aid and medicine services. Whereas the Department of Health Services will manage infrastructures, the Bir Hospital will send human resources including a doctor, a nurse and a paramedic.
The desk will open from 11 am to 3 pm everyday.
