Kathmandu, 13 October: Japan has handed over a newly-built health training center and emergency shelter to the Nona Koirala Smriti Pratisthan in Biratnagar, Morang District. The new building was constructed with grant assistance of USD 107,860 under the grant assistance for grassroots human security projects (GGP) of the Japanese government.
On the occasion, Ambassador of Japan Kikuta Yutaka had sent a message congratulating everyone involved in the project. The Ambassador appreciated all who worked together with the Embassy to complete the project and hoped that the health training center and shelter would become a community asset and serve the local people which is all the more important in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biratnagar is a flood-prone area but lacks adequate emergency shelter facilities, causing many people to suffer from infectious diseases. The newly-built facility is also expected to contribute towards improving local knowledge of health and sanitation and serve as a shelter during floods and other calamities.
The Embassy of Japan has hoped that such projects would further strengthen the bilateral relations between Japan and Nepal, deepen the people-to-people friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
