The consignment, as a gift from the people of India to people of Nepal, will enable Nepali Health Professionals to conduct PCR test on 30,000 people.

On April 22, 2020, Ambassador Kwatra handed over 23 tonnes of medicines to the Government of Nepal.

Gifting of medicines and test kits manifests continuing cooperation of our leaders and people of two countries to prepare, act and fight together with the common challenge of COVID-19 Pandemic.

These initiatives stem from the Prime Minister of India’s video conference with SAARC Leaders on March 15, 2020.

India stands in solidarity with Government, Health Professionals and people of Nepal in this hour of challenge.
