After the formal waiver from Social Welfare Council to divert up to 20 percent of the total budget for COVID-19 response, FAIRMED participated proactively in a joint procurement initiative led by the Association of International NGOs in Nepal (AIN) along with 15 other INGOs. On May 6, 2020, 16 AIN member organizations, including FAIRMED, handed over medical assistance package worth Rs 45.3 million amidst a programme organized at the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) premises.
