The doctors providing the service are paediatrician Dr Santosh Pokharel, Dr Basanta Gyawali, surgeon Dr Prem Prakash Paudel, medical officers Dr Kapil Gautam, Dr Yubaraj Bhandari, Dr Binod Barai, Dr Durga Khatri and Dr Ashok Dhittal and dentist Dr Dipendra Pokharel.
According to Health Assistant Association Nepal Chair Rajesh Gyawali, the phone numbers of the nine doctors have been posted on the organisation’s Facebook Page (HAAN Rupandehi) and anyone can receive free consultation.
