With this, NELUMBO Nepal – an institution working on health and environment has provided five staff nurses to the Health Science Academy. NELUMBO Nepal had earlier sent four health workers to the Infectious Disease Hospital.

The institution has offered the assistance to the COVID specialized hospitals so as to bridge the gap of health workers in the peak time of the third wave of contagion and ease to provide health services to citizens.
