The Ministry of Health and Population is going to give a 20 percent discount on electricity bills to government hospitals. Health Minister Pradeep Poudel has decided to give a 20 percent discount on electricity bills to government hospitals in a ministerial decision today.
He made the decision in accordance with the provision on electricity bill discounts available to government hospitals and health posts in the Nepal Electricity Authority Electricity Bill Collection Regulations 2078.
Today, the ministry has written to all government hospitals and their subordinate institutions to pay the bills on time and avail the discount facility, informed the ministry’s spokesperson, Dr. Prakash Budhathoki.
He said that on the one hand, there will be problems such as disconnection of lines and high fines if the bills are not paid on time, but on the other hand, a huge amount of money will be saved if the bills are paid within 20 days.
