Nepal's government has warned doctors, hospitals and nursing homes not to provide care to Maoist rebels wounded in a State crackdown on their insurgency, state radio said on Saturday.
The state-run raido quoting Health Minister Sharat Singh Bhandari said the statement did not specify punishments, but said doctors could be prosecuted under a recent anti-terrorism ordinance.

Nepal's government announced a state of emergency on Monday after Maoist rebels broke a four-month ceasefire with a string of attacks on the army and police. The Maoists launched a "people's war" in 1996 to topple Nepal's constitutional monarchy, in an insurgency that has claimed more than 2,100 lives. Bureau Report
