Kathmandu, April 3
The Nepal Airlines Corporation’s wide-body aeroplane has arrived in Kathmandu from China with the medical supplies necessary to combat the coronavirus spread in Nepal.
The A-330 plane was chartered and had left for Guangzhou of China at 11 am on Thursday to fetch the medical supplies and arrived at 3 am today at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
The plane carried medical supplies for Chaudhary Foundation, Norvic International Hospital, and other private hospitals. However, the details of the supplies have not been made public.
The government of Nepal had also sent a wide-body aeroplane to China to airlift the necessary medical supplies earlier this week. After that, it landed into a controversy stating that the supplies were expensive than the market price. Post the controversy, the deal has been called off.
