Seven Nepalese doctors studying in Pakistan also left for Nepal to take part in relief operations, it said.
Pakistan has established a 30-bed field hospital in Bhaktapur area of Nepal. Pakistan Army search teams are involved in rescue operations in the country that has been severely hit by a 7.9-magnitude temblor, leaving more than 6,600 people dead and thousands homeless.
