After the Constitution of Nepal has placed health as a fundamental right, basic health care should be free. No one should be denied access to emergency health care. And, after saying that quality services should be given to everyone, it means that there should be at least counseling about the childless. In order to reach that, 'Tax Sharing' and 'Tax Shifting' should be done by the experts.

The Ministry of Health and Population has been informing the general public about the false propaganda being done by various IVF centers through press releases and social media. And, another thing we have also written to the Medical Council. Because the Medical Council has banned any doctor from promoting. We have asked the Medical Council to monitor its members.
