RAHS to provide cancer treatment

Deukhuri (Dang), Feb 1: An agreement has been reached in order to provide cancer treatment at the Rapti Academy of Health Sciences (RAHS). 

At a programme organised here today, officiating Vice-Chancellor of the Academy, Prof Shyam Lamsal, and Executive Director at the BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Dr Shivaji Poudel, signed the agreement on the issue of exchanging necessary human resources by expanding cancer treatment service. 

The agreement was signed in presence of officiating Dean of the Academy, Ramesh Kandel, and Hospital's Deputy Director Dr Umesh Nepal.

Earlier, people were compelled to go to other places including Chitwan and Kathmandu for the treatment of cancer paying expensive cost in lack of such treatment in the district.

Officiating Vice-Chancellor Lamsal expressed the belief that people of previous Rapti zone and west Nepal would be benefitted after the implementation of the agreement. 

Both--time and money would be saved after cancer victims get treatment in their locality, he added. (RSS)
