Under the leadership of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, within 100 days of the formation of the government, efforts to improve the health sector have been initiated. By setting some main priorities in health, Prime Minister Oli signed a 10-point work execution agreement with Health Minister Pradeep Paudel. Progress on the agreement appears positive.
Outpatient services have been started in government hospitals in two shifts.

'After the working group suggests what changes can be made in the scope of health insurance, it will be implemented,' Minister Paudel said You have to wait for a year. The ministry claims that it has taken the initiative to reduce it in three months. Spokesperson of the Ministry of Health Dr. According to Prakash Budhathoki, the surgeries that used to take more than 6 months earlier in Veer Hospital have now started taking place in 3 months. The turnaround time of all types of surgery has not decreased. Manpower should be added to do that. For that too, we have made a plan and moved forward," he said, "but we don't have to wait as long as before. According to him, there is a discussion to do the surgery in big government hospitals like Veer Hospital in some private and some government hospitals as satellite hospitals. Those who are waiting for their turn in Veer will not have much problem getting surgery in other government hospitals. However, discussions are underway to make it private," he said, "even so, there is a condition that private hospitals should treat 10 percent of the total beds free of charge. Discussions have been carried forward with all parties on how to implement it.'

Ministry spokesman Dr. Budhathoki claimed that during the tenure of Health Minister Paudel, many reform plans were started.
It does not mean that all the plans that have been started have started to yield results. However, there have been positive efforts," he said. "Some managerial work has also seen immediate results. It will take time to see something. According to him, the 10-point performance agreement made by Health Minister Paudel with Prime Minister Oli has started and progressed with positive efforts. All points will be successful. But the implementation phase has progressed in a positive direction, he said.
