As health ministry seeks suggestions for new budget, former officials complain of being left out

Paying attention to the views of former bureaucrats and experts would help the government achieve the results it desires, they say.

Former health secretary Dr Senendra Upreti says that during his tenure, the ministry would invite former bureaucrats, officials and experts to discuss the new budget preparation. But since his retirement seven years ago, he has not been invited to such discussions, Upreti complains.
