Nepal Becoming Self-Sufficient in Health and Education After Federalism: Deuba
He stressed the importance of cooperation between the three levels of government to work for the public good.
Kathmandu. Sher Bahadur Deuba, President of the Nepali Congress and former Prime Minister, has stated that Nepal is gradually becoming self-sufficient in health and education since the implementation of federalism.
While inaugurating a newly built basic hospital in Parsa's Patewa Sugauli Rural Municipality today, he emphasised the need to further strengthen federalism and work for the welfare of the people.
He noted that, after transitioning to a federal structure, the country is gradually seeing improvements in both education and health sectors. "The government has been working hard to extend basic services to the grassroots level. This hospital opening is a result of those efforts," Deuba said. He further highlighted that health treatment and education are the most urgent needs of the people, and the government has been paying attention to address both, as part of its longstanding policy.
Deuba urged the newly established hospital to deliver effective healthcare services to the people and expressed confidence that it will serve not only the local residents but also patients from neighbouring areas. He stressed the importance of cooperation between the three levels of government to work for the public good.
Meanwhile, Ramesh Rijal, a member of the House of Representatives, pointed out that the coalition government led by the Nepali Congress and the Nepal Communist Party (UML) was formed to ensure stability and address constitutional amendments.
"We will move forward with the constitutional amendment process by consulting people in their homes and gathering suggestions," Rijal said, adding that coordination and consensus are crucial to protect and promote people's rights. "We are mindful of this need," he added.
