NCC holds health camp as part of its Diamond Jubilee

Kathmandu, July 30

To commemorate its Diamond Jubilee, the Nepal Chamber of Commerce (NCC) has organised a health camp in Manmaiju of Kathmandu. Over 100 women underwent breast and cervical cancer screening as part of the initiative aimed at promoting women’s health, the NCC informed in a statement on Wednesday.

As part of the organisation’s year-long celebration of its 75th anniversary, the Chamber has been hosting various events across the country. The health camp, coordinated by the Diamond Jubilee Main Ceremony Committee, was held with technical support from Nepal Cancer Hospital and Research Centre and Silverline Hospital.

Speaking at the event, former NCC president Rajendra Malla urged women to avail of such health-focused programmes. "There is a need for women to not only maintain their physical well-being but also to engage in entrepreneurial and economic activities for personal and societal benefit.

Chairperson of the NCC’s Social and Health Committee, Mrigendra Mehar Shrestha, expressed Chamber’s continued commitment to social responsibility alongside economic initiatives.

As Nepal’s first and oldest representative body of the private sector, actively contributing to the national economy for more than seven and a half decades, the NCC plans to showcase its long-standing contributions to the country’s economic development and private sector advancement throughout the Diamond Jubilee year. It was established as Banik Mandal in 2007.
