This is to clarify the incident described in 'Spinal conference in Nepal' (#220). An emergency medical kit sent through Federal Express USA four years ago did not arrive on time in Kathmandu due to the problems of using a courier service to transfer a medical item. Federal Express did not have any authorised service provider in Nepal during that time. However, Mr RM Singh of Everest De Cargo received a call about this urgent shipment, immediately consulted a friend in FedEx Dubai and arranged for it to be handed over to RNAC Dubai, which ultimately reached Kathmandu. Everest De Cargo is now a global service provider and exclusive licensee of Federal Express for Nepal. FedEx in Nepal is able to export as well as import any shipment (emergency medical kits included) to or from more than 215 countries.
