Bikram Bhadel saw from his pharmacy outside Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in Kathmandu what happened when coronavirus lockdowns closed the hospital’s canteen and nearby cafes.

“Every day I watched the patients, their families, doctors and other health workers struggling to get a good meal,” Mr Bhadel said.
