According to Baratmani Pandey, the Joint secretary at the ministry, the government took the decision as those institutions failed to renew their registration as per the rule in time.


The Ministry had earlier given permission to those institutions to conduct health check-ups of those travelling to foreign countries.


Anurodh Polyclinic and Diagnostic Center, Godavari Diagnostic Center, Perfect Diagnostic Center, Suda Health and Medical Center, Metro Kathmandu Hospital, Alka Hospital, Alka Polyclinic, Reliable Medical Center, Kankai Diagnostic Center and Saudi Nepal Medical Center are among the institutions facing action from the government.


These institutions are now barred from conducting health check-ups of people travelling abroad with the decision of the Ministry that came into effect on Monday.
