Ministry of Health and Food Hygiene Consolidates Operations in Single Location

Summary

The Ministry of Health and Food Hygiene in Kathmandu is consolidating its operations into a single building within the Ministry of Land, Federal Affairs and General Administration to improve coordination and service delivery following fire damage to its original building.

Key Points
  • The Ministry of Health and Food Hygiene is consolidating its scattered offices into a single location to improve administrative coordination.
  • The ministry's original building at Ramshahpath was destroyed by fire during the 'Genji' movement on Bhadra 23 and 24.
  • Temporary facilities were initially set up on Nepali Army land within Singhdarbar, but the minister's office remained separate in another ministry's building, causing coordination issues.
  • Now, the ministry's administrative units, including the minister's and secretary's offices, are housed together in the Ministry of Land, Federal Affairs and General Administration building to enhance service delivery.
