Kathmandu: The Ministry of Health has proposed to provide free treatment to people injured in accidents across the country. The next Cabinet meeting is likely to discuss the proposal.
\r\nThe ministry is also planning to provide emergency ambulance services for accident victims.
\r\n“We have realised that medical practitioners cannot reach the spot immediately after accident to provide medical care to the victims. Those injured in accidents are dying due to lack of immediate health care. To save lives we have planned pre-hospital care for people injured in accidents,” said Dr Bholaram Shrestha, chief of the Curative Service Division at the Ministry of Health. |
