Nepal Telecom (NTC) brings “Thank You Healthcare Worker Offer” in appreciation of the health professionals for their relentless service in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. The health care workers including doctors, nurses will get one month of free unlimited calls.

Nepal Telecom (NTC) hopes that the offer will keep the frontline doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals motivated in their humble duties. The state-owned telecom is paying its own homage to the medical professionals who have committed themselves round the clock. The company signed the agreement with the representatives from Nepal Medical Council, Nepal Nursing Council, Nepal Pharmacy Council, Nepal Health Professionals Council, Nepal Ayurvedic Medical Council. Nepal Medical Council already announced the same free call offer for the doctors registered under them.

The offer will allow health professionals free voice calls for a month within its network and is applicable on both prepaid and postpaid plans. However, the rental charge on postpaid SIM will remain intact.

Health professionals will acquire this offer after their concerned councils (Nepal Doctors Council/ Nepal Nursing Council/ Nepal Pharmacy Council/ Nepal Health Professionals Council and Nepal Ayurvedic Medical Council) provide their names and contacts on their official application with the letterhead.

The service will be available only to the professionals who have SIM on their own names. However, NTC has provisioned that health professionals could submit an application with their council’s official letter pad to receive a dedicated SIM card.

Similarly, health professionals can choose to obtain a SIM through their council’s ID card. This will require a regular form fill-up. They can submit the document to the nearest NTC counter and get an NTC SIM card immediately. The offer will activate by default. 

The offer comes as part of NTC’s Corporate Social Responsibility. The offer can also see an extension if the crisis sustains further. The need for communication has become most significant during such crises. Understandably, the frequency and the length of calls can never be as high as now. Therefore, it is a praiseworthy gesture by NTC to facilitate the health workers’ need for connectivity.

Nepal Telecom is bringing its 4G services into operation in 50 urban areas throughout the country. The service will come into effect from coming Wednesday.

The government-owned telecom service provider is expanding its 4G service after long efforts when the private sector telecom service provider Ncell has been claiming of extending this service in most of the places of the country. Nepal Telecom has stated that it would announce the expansion of the 4G service by organizing a program in Kathmandu which would be addressed by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

Nepal Telecom started its 4G service in Kathmandu and Pokhara starting in January 1, 2017. The Telecom is expanding its 4G services by selecting places where there is much business transaction and where the population density is more. Nepal Telecom's spokesperson Pratibha Baidya said “Works are on regarding providing the 4G services in 50 urban and town areas as per the preparations so far. BTS towers have been installed at more than 110 places for this purpose. The number of such towers will reach 150 until Wednesday.”

According to the spokesperson, every day more than a dozen towers are being installed and works are going ahead in a rapid manner, so we are planning to extend the service to more than the fixed number. She also added that the service would be started in Chandragadhi, Birtamod, Damak, Biratnagar, Inaruwa, Dharan, Dhankuta, Janakpur, Jesleshwar, Malangawa, Bara, Parsa, Simara, Kalaiya and Gaur. Similarly, the service would be expanded to Dhading, Kavrepalanchok, Sindhupalchok, Bidur, Manthali, Bhimeshwar, Sindhulimadhi, Parbat, Kushma, Baglung, Chitwan, Sauraha, Taulihawa, Butwal, Devdaha, Tulsipur, Ghorahi, Nepalgunj, Kohalpur, Surkhet, Bhimdattanagar, Jhalari, Pipaladi, Chaumala and Attariya.

The 4G service is reaching more than 50 places at the same time in less than eight months since works for this purpose were begun in accordance with Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Gokul Prasad Banskota's directive to expand the service within the stipulated time frame. The goal is to expand the 4G LTE service throughout the country until February 12, 2020.
