Amid a brief ceremony held at the Tribhuvan International Airport this morning, French Ambassador to Nepal, Francois-Xavier Leger, handed over the shipment to Minister for Health and Population, Hridayesh Tripathi

On the occasion, Health Minister Tripathi thanked the Government and the people of France for their generous support of life-saving materials, which will be helpful in containing the surge of COVID-19 cases and treatment of the infected people.
