According to KMC, it will send paramedics and other staff to the hospitals whereas the Ministry of Health and Population will arrange medical doctors.

“Doctors, paramedics and other staffers will also get special training, including safe delivery training,” Chief of the Public Health Department of KMC, Dr Baburam Gautam said. “The services will be delivered on the spot, however, if the situation gets worse, the mobile hospitals well be brought to Kathmandu so that the patients can get further treatment.”
