Patients in Hetauda face difficulties finding an ambulance for long routes

Ambulance drivers have been refusing to offer services on long routes since their demand for a revision in the transport fare is yet to be addressed, locals say.

Three days ago, 40-year-old Man Kumari Khusawar, a local of Chandrapur Municipality in Rautahat, visited a hospital in Hetauda seeking treatment for stomach-related problems. She was referred to Kathmandu for further treatment.
