Blood transfusion is not safe in Nepal

According to the breaking news published by the Himalayan times,   "People face HIV infection from the normal transfusion as there is no availability of the test kit to detect the infection of HIV during its window period. What that means is If the blood donor is in his window period of infection, he/ she can pass on the infection to the blood receiver. As it is not detectable in absence of correct test kit. The receiver can get infection. The window period test kit is know as Nucleic Acid Amplification Test which is very expensive.

Sad reality is right now in the international market such window HIV test kit are available but right now here in Nepal it is not used or available.

" यसको अर्थ रगत जुन हामी सुरक्षित छ भन्छै त्यसबाट #hiv सङ्क्रमन​ हुन सक्छ "

Mahabir Pun Selling his awards for the funding of National innovation center

Mahabir Pun the Social Entrepreneur of Nepal has commissioned for his private conferred awards to be auctioned in US for raising money for the establishment of National Innovation Center in Nepal,

In the past pun who has been fundraising for the operation of the National Innovation Centre, has announced he will donate 28 ropanis of his land, located at Thulakot Danda, Kaskithe worth Rs32 million for the purpose.

Sad thing is he has donated all his awards for the fundraising where Nepal Government is silent about the issues. There has been no statements issue by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of Nepal.

What is the role and responsibility of Nepal government? If an individual is trying to do so much at least the government of Nepal should try to facilitate ?

What are they doing except making worthless policy and regulation? When we have billions stocked up in the name of Rural Telecommunication Development Fund and nothing is being done why can't we use that fund for the benefit of the citizen of Nepal ?
