Health Minister Paudel unveils work plan to strengthen Nepal’s health sector



KATHMANDU: Minister for Health and Population, Pradip Paudel, has unveiled a comprehensive work plan aimed at improving Nepal’s health sector.

The plan is designed to meet the targets set by the 16th Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals, according to Minister Paudel.

He presented the plan during a press conference at Singha Durbar on Sunday.
