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.

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.
