PM Oli states the first priority of Nepal as economic development.

Prime Minister K.P Sharma Oli has said that the government's first priority is the economic development of the country. Laying the foundation of the Manmohan Cardio-thoracic Vascular and Transplant Center in Kathmandu on Friday, PM Oli said that the nation is now set to proceed in the path of economic prosperity. Saying the government would not pardon anyone indulging in corrupt practices, PM Oli made an appeal to all to contribute towards putting an end to corruption. Adding that the government elected by people's majority, is fully dedicated towards public oriented works, Oli directed all state servants to avoid any delay in doing the people's work. Saying that the hospitals must be service-oriented, PM Oli also urged to never measure patient services in terms of money. Putting forward the idea of 'first treatment, then payment' he added that the government would work to create an environment where people are not deprived of medical services due to lack of financial availability. The Manmohan Cardio-Thoracic infrastructure is to be constructed under the total budget of Rs 300 million. Hospital's executive director Dr. Uttam Krishna Shrestha informed that the building will be constructed in 19 months and 40 well equipped patient beds would also be added.
