Nisha Mehta

Nepal's Health Minister Nisha Mehta met with World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva during the 79th World Health Assembly. The discussions focused on strengthening cooperation and WHO's continued support for Nepal's health sector. Minister Mehta described the meeting as highly productive and fruitful.

The Ministry of Health in Nepal has been officially renamed the 'Health and Food Safety Ministry' following a government decision. This change, which also designates the English name as 'Health and Food Security Ministry,' was published in the Gazette on May 13 and is being implemented across all subordinate bodies.
