KATHMANDU: The government has decided to provide service for the treatment of COVID-19 patients from private hospitals as well.

Any other health facility in addition to the government and public ones will be obliged to provide treatment to COVID-19 patients in the wake of increasing cases of coronavirus infection in the country.

Government Spokesperson Dr. Yubaraj Khatiwada on Friday shared this information as the decisions of the Cabinet meeting that took recently.

The Ministry of Health and Population is planning to treat symptomatic patients from teaching hospitals, private hospitals, cooperative hospitals, and community hospitals.
