Despite spending millions on Covid-19 prevention and control, Lumbini has little to show for it

A chunk of the budget was spent on procurement of medical equipment but the government failed to manage the required human resource to use those equipment.

The Lumbini provincial government has spent nearly half a billion rupees for the prevention and control of Covid-19 so far, but the rate of disease spread has not slowed down in the province, nor are the patients getting quality care.
