Kathmandu, 24 October: After widespread criticism from every corner of society including senior leaders of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), the government has back tracked the decision of not bearing expenses incurred in test and treatment of Covid-19.
In his address to the people on Friday evening, Prime Minister Khadga Oli said that protecting citizens life was the unconditional responsibility of the government.
He said, “Government’s foremost duty and responsibility is to protect people’s lives in the pandemic at present. It does not shy away from the responsibility of saving people’s lives with proper treatment at a time when the country has been fighting against the invisible enemy- the coronavirus. The struggle against the coronavirus pandemic is not the conflict of politics nor of any interest, so all sides should work in cooperation to defeat it.”
