Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal is mulling starting air ambulance service in the country to support people mostly in remote areas where other forms of transportation is not available or takes long time for rescue operations to reach.

Talking to a medical group at his official residence in Baluwatar on Friday morning, PM Nepal said air ambulance would become a boon to those failing to receive health treatment in the countryside.

He expressed hope that the international community would lend support to his idea, which he said would save those fighting for their lives in remote villages.

A delegation of Food For Health, an NGOs working on health issues, had reached Baluwatar to honour Nepal for his effort to save life of a pregnant woman from Rukkum on Wednesday.

Nepal said the government is serious towards the tragedy patients face in remote villages. nepalnews.com

hopeless  - people likes funny and impossible ideas.   |118.94.41.xxx |2009-09-12 16:40:34
i do agree with prakash, government should produce and deployed more than 100
general practioner like dr yadav in patan hospital in government
hospital.

nepal government is no more bothering to give GP trainig to drs
aand to deploy them in district hospitals. it is easier and feasible and
possible task but the politician reures and gives complicated costly and most
of the time impossible programme to the people to gain the cheap popularity.
if
u ask the health minister and PM how maany GPs are in government service you may
surprise.
please take the suggestion from Marc zimmerman of nick simon insute.

I must say this is quite an interesting thought of PM Nepal.But wouldnot it cost
much better to establish hospital in local area so that not only emergency case
but all other medical cases could be solve. About the Air Ambulance, it can be
done to save many people who needs extra mediacal attention. PM Nepal, we are
watching your every step and word. DONT FORGET WHILE YOU ARE IN US TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN.

It's interesting that PM is looking forward to provide remote Nepalese with air
ambulance. Thank You Mr. PM for coming up with new plan but rather than focusing
on this Government should focus on providing health services in a local level
so, that they don't have travel to other places in seek of medical care.
So,
rather give much focus for providing health services from local level.
Thank
You.

If country has to depend on donation / aid even for minor project, can we call
Nepal as begger country Nepal or (BCN)?

This is a great news for Nepal.
Emergency care in Nepal needs modernisation.I
think we have best emergency doctors in Nepal.Dr Yadav-Emergency Medicine
Consultant of Patan Hospital is exceptional example of how good our Emergency
doctors are.

Look what is happening right under your nose in Kathmandu Hospitals. Have not
heard your Bhashan or anything that anybody is doing to improve the medical
facilities in Capital. Why don't you plan to have even small unit but with more
care facilities and adequate doctors and nurses deployed in remote areas. The
money you intend to spent in air hospital could be diverted towards this noble
cause. People from those remote areas will bless you. Stop begging and do
something from our tax money. Don't spend our tax money for foreign tour of
ministers and theri family.
jatra  - very nice plan to expend buget in air ambulance   |118.94.41.xxx |2009-09-11 13:52:41
oh!

No emergency drugs and equipment even in the tertiary level hospitals and
doctors are doing strike in demands of drugs.

we are not being able to
provide the land ambulance service even till date.

It is very nice to reach
in the moon than to reach in the top of Dharahara.
Very very nice to
hear.

people in the remote areas are not getting Jeevan jal and we bwcame
capable of providing air ambulance.

Government is failed to produce general
practice and to provide them in each district. Unless and untill they will not
be fulfilled national health sevices remains in failure state.

Very very nice
plan to utilise the budget in air ambulance.
Great idea  - must be implemented from now   |124.108.52.xxx |2009-09-11 07:53:06
PM Nepal's concept is so great. Whether or not we get fund from donor but even
if our own budget Nepal must start air ambulance for treatmetn for all kind of
emergency services which is not availbale in remote area.
roadmap2democracy  - You are great!   |202.79.40.xxx |2009-09-11 07:21:15
You are just great man PM!!! I truly admired your kindness toward a pregnent
woman who was fighting for life and death.

"He expressed hope that the international community would lend support to
his idea, which he said would save those fighting for their lives in remote
villages." Political parties go on rampage for there own interest and again
looking at foreign donor - is our Nepal so poor to do anything on our own ?
