KATHMANDU: Minister for Health, Bhanu Bhakta Dhakal today said that modern and well-equipped lab like in the Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Diseases Hospital at Teku, Kathmandu will be set up in all seven provinces.

As the COVID-19 pandemic goes on, Minister Dhakal urged mass media not to disseminate any news that would weaken people’s morale to fight against COVID-19.

He said efforts were being coordinated with foreign diplomatic missions to procure medicines and equipment related to COVID-19.

According to him, the government has readied aircraft to ferry medicines and equipment from India and China once the confirmation on their supply is confirmed.
