Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) on Tuesday handed over medicines worth Rs 3.8 million to the government.
The NRNA had pledged to provide medicines worth Rs 30 million to the ease nation-wide drug crisis resulting from the trade blockade imposed by India on Nepal that has exceeded over two months.
Amid a program held in the capital on Tuesday, NRNA Chairman Shesh Ghale handed over the medicines to Minister for Health and Population Ramjanam Chaudhary. “We cannot remain mute spectators to the situation that is becoming more and more serious,” Chairman Ghale said at the program. He informed that the organization had tried its best to bring all the medicines at once by chartering planes but could not succeed due to the reluctance of Indian airline companies.
Medicines donated by the organization will help major hospitals to continue surgeries and other services of intensive care unit (ICU) and critical care unit (CCU). Chairman Ghale informed that the NRN will find a way to deliver the remaining medicines soon.
Minister for Health and Population Ramjanam Chaudhary thanked the NRNA for its support as the country faces hard times.
Meanwhile, the NRNA has also launched a new global campaign against the trade blockade imposed by India, which has caused nation-wide crisis of essential goods, including life-saving medicines in Nepal. NRNA’s various chapters around the world have been continuing their campaign against the Indian blockade. “We will internationalize the brutal blockade and urge the international community to pressurize India to lift the sanctions,” said Ghale.
