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.
