Nepal has been unanimously elected as an executive member of the World Health Organization (WHO). During 78th World Health Assembly underway in Geneva, Nepal was unanimously chosen as a member from the South-East Asia region.
Nepal will now take charge of the executive committee member of the organization for the next three years. Following the election, Health and Population Minister Pradip Paudel said that this is a significant opportunity for Nepal to expand its best health practices in improving healthcare services and to adopt global best practices.
Minister Paudel also extended congratulations to all Nepali people for this achievement.
