| Abstract | |
Nepal is facing health emergency due to skyrocketing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and mortality each day in the last few weeks. This has led to the scarcity of essential medical supplies even in the major cities, and the meagre population of health care professionals is insufficient. Practical measures such as regional cooperation, public-private health care collaboration, resources generation, and distribution should be the collective focus to reduce the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic further. |
