Private Hospitals Association Objects to Government Directive on Free Beds

Kathmandu. The Association of Private Health Institutions of Nepal (AFIN), the umbrella organization of private hospitals, has expressed serious objection to the ambiguous and impractical language of the government directive to manage 10 percent beds free of charge for poor patients in private hospitals.

A team led by AFIN Chairman Dr. Padam Bahadur Khadka, after doing homework on the report related to the remuneration of health workers and free treatment, submitted a memorandum to the Minister of Health and Food Hygiene Nisha Mehta on Monday.
