KATHMANDU, April 16: Ncell Private Limited has launched a self-assessment survey through Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) medium to support the Government to identify COVID-19 infected people.

How to help vulnerable groups

Similarly, in combat against the COVID-19, the company had also contributed NPR 100 billion in the government-established COVID-19 Infection Prevention, Control and Treatment Fund.
