<p>Dr KC was on a hunger-strike at the KAHS since June 30 demanding key reforms in Nepal&#39;s health sector including withdrawal of the Medical Education Bill from the parliament, the watchdog said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It is deeply saddening to see the baton-welding police forcefully enter the hospital premise manhandling medical professionals and general people, and use unwarranted force including tear gas, and allegedly a &quot;live ammunition&quot; seriously injuring a police constable, twenty medical doctors and others,&rdquo; the statement said.</p>

<p>Under international human rights law, Nepal is obliged to protect the right to life, liberty and security of every person, Amnesty International noted. It is also an obligation of the government to ensure and respect the right to freedom of expression and opinion of every individual.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Amnesty International Nepal urges the government to sufficiently ensure that the law- enforcement officials adhere to the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms, which requires at a minimum to ensure the necessity, proportionality, legality and accountability of any amount of force used in all circumstances,&rdquo; the statement further said.</p>

<p>The transport operators parked the vehicles on the road after entering the border from the Integrated Check Post (ICP) of Birgunj on Wednesday &nbsp;to protest against the decision of the municipality to impose the tax. They declined to pay the tax arguing that the municipality should collect the tax from the importer instead of the transporters.</p>

<p>One of the transport entrepreneurs Manoj Das said that the municipality should collect the tax from Nepal Oil Corporation, the state-owned oli monopoly responsible for the overall distribution of oil across the country.</p>

<p>Birgunj Municipality has imposed a tax of Rs 1,000 per tanker. It has set up a counter at the highway near the ICP to collect the tax. Altogether 300 tankers import petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point every day.</p>

<p>The tanker operators reached a deal with the municipality on Wednesday evening to call off the standoff after the municipality decided just to keep records of the tankers and collect the tax later on.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 20: The Ministry of Health and Population has organized the First National Conference on Pre-Hospital Care for Emergencies in Nepal for EMTs, health workers, doctors, medical representatives and practitioners in collaboration with Nepal Ambulance Service (NAS), World Health Organization, Danish Red Cross and European Union Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection.</p>

<p>According to the organisers, the event was conducted to create a scene assessment of the pre-hospital environment, initial assessment of the patient, manage the&nbsp;life threatening&nbsp;emergencies with appropriate initial steps, proper monitoring during the transfer of patients&nbsp;while maintaining good communication with their medical base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Pre-Hospital Care Conference was conducted with the aim of advancing the knowledge, confidence and skill of the respondents with regards to these challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Om Raj Bhandari, president of NAS, said, &quot;As the president and one of the founders of Nepal Ambulance Service, I am aware of the dire state of pre-hospital care services throughout Nepal. Many critically ill and injured patients are deprived of timely treatment due to lack of emergency treatments, safe transport to the hospital where they get definitive care. Lack of standard ambulances with trained staff force many people to opt for taxi or sub-standard ambulances with only the driver, which in many cases leads to preventable deaths.&quot;</p>

<p>Speaking on the occasion, keynote speaker Dr Mahadevan from Stanford said, &quot;Like police and fire brigade during our emergencies, pre-hospital care is also equally important and the basic rights of citizens. Every country should work towards their basic rights. I am happy with these sorts of conference and deliberation in partnership with the government.&quot;</p>

<p>Another keynote speaker, Founding President of NAS, Dr Rajesh Gongal stated that &quot;Our country lacks vision for EMS (Emergency Medical Service). All the stakeholders in partnership with Health Ministry should work towards creating a long-term vision. I hope this conference will lead us towards that vision.&quot;</p>

<p>Also speaking at the occasion, Chief Guest, State Minister for Health Padma Kumari Aryal reassured about the partnership between the Ministry of Health and NAS towards creating a call centre for all the ambulances. She said, &quot;NAS should lead the EMS concept and work with the Government of Nepal to provide the quality pre-hospital care to every Nepali.&quot;</p>

<p>Pre-Hospital care is the emergency care a patient receives which is usually performed by emergency medical technicians and paramedics prior to reaching the hospital. It includes immobilization of the injured area in a functional position below the level of the heart, administration of oxygen, establishment of intravenous access on the contralateral side, and transportation of the patient to the nearest medical facility.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 19: KCM Nepal Management Symposium 2018 organised by Kathmandu College of Management (KCM) kicked off in Kathmandu on Thursday, July 19.</p>

<p>The two-day event was inaugurated by Dr Rewat Bahadur Karki, chairman of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) in the presence of students from different colleges and panellists. Speaking at the programme, Karki said, &quot;KCM, being one of the leading management colleges, has been playing a vital role in the area of management in Nepal. And organising such programme is a good initiative for the development of management sector.&quot;</p>

<p>The first day of the symposium had two sessions - &lsquo;Financial Economies&rsquo; and &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; - in which eight speakers shared their experiences of their professional life. The sessions were followed by a panel discussion.</p>

<p>For the Financial Economics session, speakers including Annal Raj Bhattarai, founder of Nepal Rating Agency; Dr Manoj Shahi, partner of Active Allocator; Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade Economics and Environment (SAWTEE); and Akash Shrestha, research coordinator at Samriddhi Foundation shared their knowledge amongst the participants. The topics discussed in the Financial Economics session included Shaping Nepali Banking Industry, FinTech and Financial Inclusion, Fourth Industrial Revolution and Investment Climate in Nepal.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Posh Raj Pandey putting an insight about the fourth industrial revolution, said, &quot;Industrial revolution including technological innovation and advancement like digital payment system has made transaction faster, cost effective and has been more productive.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Akash Shrestha mentioned the&nbsp;complex tax regime, impractical standard guidelines, difficulties in accessing finance, price controls, restrictive labour laws and policy disharmony as the major challenges for medium-scale industries in Nepal. He added, &ldquo;Aspiring young entrepreneurs are facing problems from the initial level of registering their&nbsp;companies. Even though our infrastructure projects are gaining ground with many core ideas, a number of policies are being reformed which will be helpful for developing entrepreneurship in Nepal.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;FinTech is not a new concept. Proper payment system and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending system will make life easier as well as save time in this digital world,&rdquo; shared Shahi, adding, &ldquo;Since P2P collects lots of information of both lender and borrower, it is reliable for lending transaction.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Similarly, Bharat Avalani, chief executive officer at Connecting the Dots, Malaysia; Dave McCaughan, chief strategy officer at AI Agency, Thailand; JP Nair, country manager at Qatar Airways; and Puneet Varshney, managing director of Bottlers Nepal Limited spoke in the &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; session. Topics like Power of Empathy: Building Deeper Brand Connections through Purpose, AI and Marketing Narrative, Building Brand Value and Influence in Airlines Industry and Brand Activation: Engaging consumers beyond advertising were discussed in the Marketing and Branding session. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;A leader must try to identify the problems and find solutions,&rdquo; said Avalani, adding that marketing is not about the products you make but the stories you tell.&nbsp;</p>

<p>McCaughan emphasising the development of artificial intelligence (AI) said that &lsquo;AI will be part of you no matter what business you are in&rsquo;.</p>

<p>The second day of the event will feature two sessions, &lsquo;Entrepreneurship&rsquo; and &lsquo;Leadership Organisation&rsquo; on July 20, Friday at Hotel Radisson, Kathmandu.&nbsp; Nepal Management Symposium, the annual event of KCM, has been continuing since 2011.</p>

The protest of the tanker operators had briefly affected the import of petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point.</p>

<p>The transport operators parked the vehicles on the road after entering the border from the Integrated Check Post (ICP) of Birgunj on Wednesday &nbsp;to protest against the decision of the municipality to impose the tax. They declined to pay the tax arguing that the municipality should collect the tax from the importer instead of the transporters.</p>

<p>One of the transport entrepreneurs Manoj Das said that the municipality should collect the tax from Nepal Oil Corporation, the state-owned oli monopoly responsible for the overall distribution of oil across the country.</p>

<p>Birgunj Municipality has imposed a tax of Rs 1,000 per tanker. It has set up a counter at the highway near the ICP to collect the tax. Altogether 300 tankers import petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point every day.</p>

<p>The tanker operators reached a deal with the municipality on Wednesday evening to call off the standoff after the municipality decided just to keep records of the tankers and collect the tax later on.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 20: The Ministry of Health and Population has organized the First National Conference on Pre-Hospital Care for Emergencies in Nepal for EMTs, health workers, doctors, medical representatives and practitioners in collaboration with Nepal Ambulance Service (NAS), World Health Organization, Danish Red Cross and European Union Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection.</p>

<p>According to the organisers, the event was conducted to create a scene assessment of the pre-hospital environment, initial assessment of the patient, manage the&nbsp;life threatening&nbsp;emergencies with appropriate initial steps, proper monitoring during the transfer of patients&nbsp;while maintaining good communication with their medical base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Pre-Hospital Care Conference was conducted with the aim of advancing the knowledge, confidence and skill of the respondents with regards to these challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Om Raj Bhandari, president of NAS, said, &quot;As the president and one of the founders of Nepal Ambulance Service, I am aware of the dire state of pre-hospital care services throughout Nepal. Many critically ill and injured patients are deprived of timely treatment due to lack of emergency treatments, safe transport to the hospital where they get definitive care. Lack of standard ambulances with trained staff force many people to opt for taxi or sub-standard ambulances with only the driver, which in many cases leads to preventable deaths.&quot;</p>

<p>Speaking on the occasion, keynote speaker Dr Mahadevan from Stanford said, &quot;Like police and fire brigade during our emergencies, pre-hospital care is also equally important and the basic rights of citizens. Every country should work towards their basic rights. I am happy with these sorts of conference and deliberation in partnership with the government.&quot;</p>

<p>Another keynote speaker, Founding President of NAS, Dr Rajesh Gongal stated that &quot;Our country lacks vision for EMS (Emergency Medical Service). All the stakeholders in partnership with Health Ministry should work towards creating a long-term vision. I hope this conference will lead us towards that vision.&quot;</p>

<p>Also speaking at the occasion, Chief Guest, State Minister for Health Padma Kumari Aryal reassured about the partnership between the Ministry of Health and NAS towards creating a call centre for all the ambulances. She said, &quot;NAS should lead the EMS concept and work with the Government of Nepal to provide the quality pre-hospital care to every Nepali.&quot;</p>

<p>Pre-Hospital care is the emergency care a patient receives which is usually performed by emergency medical technicians and paramedics prior to reaching the hospital. It includes immobilization of the injured area in a functional position below the level of the heart, administration of oxygen, establishment of intravenous access on the contralateral side, and transportation of the patient to the nearest medical facility.</p>

<p>The two-day event was inaugurated by Dr Rewat Bahadur Karki, chairman of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) in the presence of students from different colleges and panellists. Speaking at the programme, Karki said, &quot;KCM, being one of the leading management colleges, has been playing a vital role in the area of management in Nepal. And organising such programme is a good initiative for the development of management sector.&quot;</p>

<p>The first day of the symposium had two sessions - &lsquo;Financial Economies&rsquo; and &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; - in which eight speakers shared their experiences of their professional life. The sessions were followed by a panel discussion.</p>

<p>For the Financial Economics session, speakers including Annal Raj Bhattarai, founder of Nepal Rating Agency; Dr Manoj Shahi, partner of Active Allocator; Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade Economics and Environment (SAWTEE); and Akash Shrestha, research coordinator at Samriddhi Foundation shared their knowledge amongst the participants. The topics discussed in the Financial Economics session included Shaping Nepali Banking Industry, FinTech and Financial Inclusion, Fourth Industrial Revolution and Investment Climate in Nepal.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Posh Raj Pandey putting an insight about the fourth industrial revolution, said, &quot;Industrial revolution including technological innovation and advancement like digital payment system has made transaction faster, cost effective and has been more productive.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Akash Shrestha mentioned the&nbsp;complex tax regime, impractical standard guidelines, difficulties in accessing finance, price controls, restrictive labour laws and policy disharmony as the major challenges for medium-scale industries in Nepal. He added, &ldquo;Aspiring young entrepreneurs are facing problems from the initial level of registering their&nbsp;companies. Even though our infrastructure projects are gaining ground with many core ideas, a number of policies are being reformed which will be helpful for developing entrepreneurship in Nepal.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;FinTech is not a new concept. Proper payment system and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending system will make life easier as well as save time in this digital world,&rdquo; shared Shahi, adding, &ldquo;Since P2P collects lots of information of both lender and borrower, it is reliable for lending transaction.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Similarly, Bharat Avalani, chief executive officer at Connecting the Dots, Malaysia; Dave McCaughan, chief strategy officer at AI Agency, Thailand; JP Nair, country manager at Qatar Airways; and Puneet Varshney, managing director of Bottlers Nepal Limited spoke in the &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; session. Topics like Power of Empathy: Building Deeper Brand Connections through Purpose, AI and Marketing Narrative, Building Brand Value and Influence in Airlines Industry and Brand Activation: Engaging consumers beyond advertising were discussed in the Marketing and Branding session. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;A leader must try to identify the problems and find solutions,&rdquo; said Avalani, adding that marketing is not about the products you make but the stories you tell.&nbsp;</p>

<p>McCaughan emphasising the development of artificial intelligence (AI) said that &lsquo;AI will be part of you no matter what business you are in&rsquo;.</p>

<p>The second day of the event will feature two sessions, &lsquo;Entrepreneurship&rsquo; and &lsquo;Leadership Organisation&rsquo; on July 20, Friday at Hotel Radisson, Kathmandu.&nbsp; Nepal Management Symposium, the annual event of KCM, has been continuing since 2011.</p>

<p>Dr KC was on a hunger-strike at the KAHS since June 30 demanding key reforms in Nepal&#39;s health sector including withdrawal of the Medical Education Bill from the parliament, the watchdog said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It is deeply saddening to see the baton-welding police forcefully enter the hospital premise manhandling medical professionals and general people, and use unwarranted force including tear gas, and allegedly a &quot;live ammunition&quot; seriously injuring a police constable, twenty medical doctors and others,&rdquo; the statement said.</p>

<p>Under international human rights law, Nepal is obliged to protect the right to life, liberty and security of every person, Amnesty International noted. It is also an obligation of the government to ensure and respect the right to freedom of expression and opinion of every individual.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Amnesty International Nepal urges the government to sufficiently ensure that the law- enforcement officials adhere to the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms, which requires at a minimum to ensure the necessity, proportionality, legality and accountability of any amount of force used in all circumstances,&rdquo; the statement further said.</p>

<p>&quot;We also urge the Government of Nepal to resolve any outstanding issues with the opposition party and/or dissenting groups including Dr KC through a process of meaningful dialogue,&quot; said Nirajan Thapaliya, director of Amnesty International Nepal.</p>

The protest of the tanker operators had briefly affected the import of petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point.</p>

<p>The transport operators parked the vehicles on the road after entering the border from the Integrated Check Post (ICP) of Birgunj on Wednesday &nbsp;to protest against the decision of the municipality to impose the tax. They declined to pay the tax arguing that the municipality should collect the tax from the importer instead of the transporters.</p>

<p>One of the transport entrepreneurs Manoj Das said that the municipality should collect the tax from Nepal Oil Corporation, the state-owned oli monopoly responsible for the overall distribution of oil across the country.</p>

<p>Birgunj Municipality has imposed a tax of Rs 1,000 per tanker. It has set up a counter at the highway near the ICP to collect the tax. Altogether 300 tankers import petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point every day.</p>

<p>The tanker operators reached a deal with the municipality on Wednesday evening to call off the standoff after the municipality decided just to keep records of the tankers and collect the tax later on.</p>

<p>According to the organisers, the event was conducted to create a scene assessment of the pre-hospital environment, initial assessment of the patient, manage the&nbsp;life threatening&nbsp;emergencies with appropriate initial steps, proper monitoring during the transfer of patients&nbsp;while maintaining good communication with their medical base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Pre-Hospital Care Conference was conducted with the aim of advancing the knowledge, confidence and skill of the respondents with regards to these challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Om Raj Bhandari, president of NAS, said, &quot;As the president and one of the founders of Nepal Ambulance Service, I am aware of the dire state of pre-hospital care services throughout Nepal. Many critically ill and injured patients are deprived of timely treatment due to lack of emergency treatments, safe transport to the hospital where they get definitive care. Lack of standard ambulances with trained staff force many people to opt for taxi or sub-standard ambulances with only the driver, which in many cases leads to preventable deaths.&quot;</p>

<p>Speaking on the occasion, keynote speaker Dr Mahadevan from Stanford said, &quot;Like police and fire brigade during our emergencies, pre-hospital care is also equally important and the basic rights of citizens. Every country should work towards their basic rights. I am happy with these sorts of conference and deliberation in partnership with the government.&quot;</p>

<p>Another keynote speaker, Founding President of NAS, Dr Rajesh Gongal stated that &quot;Our country lacks vision for EMS (Emergency Medical Service). All the stakeholders in partnership with Health Ministry should work towards creating a long-term vision. I hope this conference will lead us towards that vision.&quot;</p>

<p>Also speaking at the occasion, Chief Guest, State Minister for Health Padma Kumari Aryal reassured about the partnership between the Ministry of Health and NAS towards creating a call centre for all the ambulances. She said, &quot;NAS should lead the EMS concept and work with the Government of Nepal to provide the quality pre-hospital care to every Nepali.&quot;</p>

<p>Pre-Hospital care is the emergency care a patient receives which is usually performed by emergency medical technicians and paramedics prior to reaching the hospital. It includes immobilization of the injured area in a functional position below the level of the heart, administration of oxygen, establishment of intravenous access on the contralateral side, and transportation of the patient to the nearest medical facility.</p>

<p>The two-day event was inaugurated by Dr Rewat Bahadur Karki, chairman of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) in the presence of students from different colleges and panellists. Speaking at the programme, Karki said, &quot;KCM, being one of the leading management colleges, has been playing a vital role in the area of management in Nepal. And organising such programme is a good initiative for the development of management sector.&quot;</p>

<p>The first day of the symposium had two sessions - &lsquo;Financial Economies&rsquo; and &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; - in which eight speakers shared their experiences of their professional life. The sessions were followed by a panel discussion.</p>

<p>For the Financial Economics session, speakers including Annal Raj Bhattarai, founder of Nepal Rating Agency; Dr Manoj Shahi, partner of Active Allocator; Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade Economics and Environment (SAWTEE); and Akash Shrestha, research coordinator at Samriddhi Foundation shared their knowledge amongst the participants. The topics discussed in the Financial Economics session included Shaping Nepali Banking Industry, FinTech and Financial Inclusion, Fourth Industrial Revolution and Investment Climate in Nepal.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Posh Raj Pandey putting an insight about the fourth industrial revolution, said, &quot;Industrial revolution including technological innovation and advancement like digital payment system has made transaction faster, cost effective and has been more productive.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Akash Shrestha mentioned the&nbsp;complex tax regime, impractical standard guidelines, difficulties in accessing finance, price controls, restrictive labour laws and policy disharmony as the major challenges for medium-scale industries in Nepal. He added, &ldquo;Aspiring young entrepreneurs are facing problems from the initial level of registering their&nbsp;companies. Even though our infrastructure projects are gaining ground with many core ideas, a number of policies are being reformed which will be helpful for developing entrepreneurship in Nepal.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;FinTech is not a new concept. Proper payment system and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending system will make life easier as well as save time in this digital world,&rdquo; shared Shahi, adding, &ldquo;Since P2P collects lots of information of both lender and borrower, it is reliable for lending transaction.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Similarly, Bharat Avalani, chief executive officer at Connecting the Dots, Malaysia; Dave McCaughan, chief strategy officer at AI Agency, Thailand; JP Nair, country manager at Qatar Airways; and Puneet Varshney, managing director of Bottlers Nepal Limited spoke in the &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; session. Topics like Power of Empathy: Building Deeper Brand Connections through Purpose, AI and Marketing Narrative, Building Brand Value and Influence in Airlines Industry and Brand Activation: Engaging consumers beyond advertising were discussed in the Marketing and Branding session. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;A leader must try to identify the problems and find solutions,&rdquo; said Avalani, adding that marketing is not about the products you make but the stories you tell.&nbsp;</p>

<p>McCaughan emphasising the development of artificial intelligence (AI) said that &lsquo;AI will be part of you no matter what business you are in&rsquo;.</p>

<p>The second day of the event will feature two sessions, &lsquo;Entrepreneurship&rsquo; and &lsquo;Leadership Organisation&rsquo; on July 20, Friday at Hotel Radisson, Kathmandu.&nbsp; Nepal Management Symposium, the annual event of KCM, has been continuing since 2011.</p>

<p>Dr KC was on a hunger-strike at the KAHS since June 30 demanding key reforms in Nepal&#39;s health sector including withdrawal of the Medical Education Bill from the parliament, the watchdog said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It is deeply saddening to see the baton-welding police forcefully enter the hospital premise manhandling medical professionals and general people, and use unwarranted force including tear gas, and allegedly a &quot;live ammunition&quot; seriously injuring a police constable, twenty medical doctors and others,&rdquo; the statement said.</p>

<p>Under international human rights law, Nepal is obliged to protect the right to life, liberty and security of every person, Amnesty International noted. It is also an obligation of the government to ensure and respect the right to freedom of expression and opinion of every individual.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Amnesty International Nepal urges the government to sufficiently ensure that the law- enforcement officials adhere to the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms, which requires at a minimum to ensure the necessity, proportionality, legality and accountability of any amount of force used in all circumstances,&rdquo; the statement further said.</p>

<p>&quot;We also urge the Government of Nepal to resolve any outstanding issues with the opposition party and/or dissenting groups including Dr KC through a process of meaningful dialogue,&quot; said Nirajan Thapaliya, director of Amnesty International Nepal.</p>

<p>The transport operators parked the vehicles on the road after entering the border from the Integrated Check Post (ICP) of Birgunj on Wednesday &nbsp;to protest against the decision of the municipality to impose the tax. They declined to pay the tax arguing that the municipality should collect the tax from the importer instead of the transporters.</p>

<p>One of the transport entrepreneurs Manoj Das said that the municipality should collect the tax from Nepal Oil Corporation, the state-owned oli monopoly responsible for the overall distribution of oil across the country.</p>

<p>Birgunj Municipality has imposed a tax of Rs 1,000 per tanker. It has set up a counter at the highway near the ICP to collect the tax. Altogether 300 tankers import petroleum products from Birgunj Customs Point every day.</p>

<p>The tanker operators reached a deal with the municipality on Wednesday evening to call off the standoff after the municipality decided just to keep records of the tankers and collect the tax later on.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 20: The Ministry of Health and Population has organized the First National Conference on Pre-Hospital Care for Emergencies in Nepal for EMTs, health workers, doctors, medical representatives and practitioners in collaboration with Nepal Ambulance Service (NAS), World Health Organization, Danish Red Cross and European Union Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection.</p>

<p>According to the organisers, the event was conducted to create a scene assessment of the pre-hospital environment, initial assessment of the patient, manage the&nbsp;life threatening&nbsp;emergencies with appropriate initial steps, proper monitoring during the transfer of patients&nbsp;while maintaining good communication with their medical base.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Pre-Hospital Care Conference was conducted with the aim of advancing the knowledge, confidence and skill of the respondents with regards to these challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Om Raj Bhandari, president of NAS, said, &quot;As the president and one of the founders of Nepal Ambulance Service, I am aware of the dire state of pre-hospital care services throughout Nepal. Many critically ill and injured patients are deprived of timely treatment due to lack of emergency treatments, safe transport to the hospital where they get definitive care. Lack of standard ambulances with trained staff force many people to opt for taxi or sub-standard ambulances with only the driver, which in many cases leads to preventable deaths.&quot;</p>

<p>Speaking on the occasion, keynote speaker Dr Mahadevan from Stanford said, &quot;Like police and fire brigade during our emergencies, pre-hospital care is also equally important and the basic rights of citizens. Every country should work towards their basic rights. I am happy with these sorts of conference and deliberation in partnership with the government.&quot;</p>

<p>Another keynote speaker, Founding President of NAS, Dr Rajesh Gongal stated that &quot;Our country lacks vision for EMS (Emergency Medical Service). All the stakeholders in partnership with Health Ministry should work towards creating a long-term vision. I hope this conference will lead us towards that vision.&quot;</p>

<p>Also speaking at the occasion, Chief Guest, State Minister for Health Padma Kumari Aryal reassured about the partnership between the Ministry of Health and NAS towards creating a call centre for all the ambulances. She said, &quot;NAS should lead the EMS concept and work with the Government of Nepal to provide the quality pre-hospital care to every Nepali.&quot;</p>

<p>Pre-Hospital care is the emergency care a patient receives which is usually performed by emergency medical technicians and paramedics prior to reaching the hospital. It includes immobilization of the injured area in a functional position below the level of the heart, administration of oxygen, establishment of intravenous access on the contralateral side, and transportation of the patient to the nearest medical facility.</p>

<p>The two-day event was inaugurated by Dr Rewat Bahadur Karki, chairman of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) in the presence of students from different colleges and panellists. Speaking at the programme, Karki said, &quot;KCM, being one of the leading management colleges, has been playing a vital role in the area of management in Nepal. And organising such programme is a good initiative for the development of management sector.&quot;</p>

<p>The first day of the symposium had two sessions - &lsquo;Financial Economies&rsquo; and &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; - in which eight speakers shared their experiences of their professional life. The sessions were followed by a panel discussion.</p>

<p>For the Financial Economics session, speakers including Annal Raj Bhattarai, founder of Nepal Rating Agency; Dr Manoj Shahi, partner of Active Allocator; Dr Posh Raj Pandey, chairman of South Asia Watch on Trade Economics and Environment (SAWTEE); and Akash Shrestha, research coordinator at Samriddhi Foundation shared their knowledge amongst the participants. The topics discussed in the Financial Economics session included Shaping Nepali Banking Industry, FinTech and Financial Inclusion, Fourth Industrial Revolution and Investment Climate in Nepal.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Posh Raj Pandey putting an insight about the fourth industrial revolution, said, &quot;Industrial revolution including technological innovation and advancement like digital payment system has made transaction faster, cost effective and has been more productive.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Akash Shrestha mentioned the&nbsp;complex tax regime, impractical standard guidelines, difficulties in accessing finance, price controls, restrictive labour laws and policy disharmony as the major challenges for medium-scale industries in Nepal. He added, &ldquo;Aspiring young entrepreneurs are facing problems from the initial level of registering their&nbsp;companies. Even though our infrastructure projects are gaining ground with many core ideas, a number of policies are being reformed which will be helpful for developing entrepreneurship in Nepal.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;FinTech is not a new concept. Proper payment system and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending system will make life easier as well as save time in this digital world,&rdquo; shared Shahi, adding, &ldquo;Since P2P collects lots of information of both lender and borrower, it is reliable for lending transaction.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Similarly, Bharat Avalani, chief executive officer at Connecting the Dots, Malaysia; Dave McCaughan, chief strategy officer at AI Agency, Thailand; JP Nair, country manager at Qatar Airways; and Puneet Varshney, managing director of Bottlers Nepal Limited spoke in the &lsquo;Marketing and Branding&rsquo; session. Topics like Power of Empathy: Building Deeper Brand Connections through Purpose, AI and Marketing Narrative, Building Brand Value and Influence in Airlines Industry and Brand Activation: Engaging consumers beyond advertising were discussed in the Marketing and Branding session. &nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;A leader must try to identify the problems and find solutions,&rdquo; said Avalani, adding that marketing is not about the products you make but the stories you tell.&nbsp;</p>

<p>McCaughan emphasising the development of artificial intelligence (AI) said that &lsquo;AI will be part of you no matter what business you are in&rsquo;.</p>

<p>The second day of the event will feature two sessions, &lsquo;Entrepreneurship&rsquo; and &lsquo;Leadership Organisation&rsquo; on July 20, Friday at Hotel Radisson, Kathmandu.&nbsp; Nepal Management Symposium, the annual event of KCM, has been continuing since 2011.</p>
