We expect the government to also help us in completing the project,” said President of NCRS Lokendra Kumar Shrestha. Speaking at the programme, Health Minister Gagan Kumar Thapa said the government was trying to utilise the frozen budget of Rs 40,000,000 of the fiscal 2015/16 by December this year. He said, “We will distribute the budget to different hospitals for necessary equipment, but the hospitals have to be responsible with the budget.”Minister Thapa said, “The number of cancer patients is increasing day by day, and with it the demand for free treatment is also increasing. The government wants to make health services free, but it cannot afford to do this with the existing budget, which is insufficient for treatment and dialysis.”
