Ramesh Malla of Nepal Communist Party mentioned that he had repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that health services are being affected due to the lack of specialist doctors at Salyan Hospital in Salyan, and that the government's policy of providing easily accessible specialist services to citizens has been overshadowed due to the unresolved problem so far.
