Private clinics registration on the rise

Kathmandu, November 20
The number of private medical clinics being registered in Kathmandu and Lalitpur has increased following the monitoring initiated by the Health Ministry.
On an average, 13 clinics are being registered in all the three public health offices in Kathmandu valley. The number that used to be three to four in a week has now reached almost 13 daily, said Chief of Kathmandu Public Health Office Mahendra Shrestha.
The monitoring team from the Ministry has been shutting down clinics that were found operating without official registration. On Sunday too, three clinics were shut down in Kathmandu and Lalitpur.
So far, 40 clinics have been sealed in the past week since the monitoring began. RSS
