Patients on rise at Humla District Hospital

Simkot, Sept 10: The Humla District Hospital has witnessed a rise in number of patients.

The people suffering from common cold have crowded the hospital of late.

Doctor Sunil Pujara informed that they could not manage beds for the increasing number of patients. There are only 15 beds in the hospital.

Last Sunday, as many as 150 persons were provided service. Most of them were suffering from common cold, fever, diarrhea, pneumonia and gastritis. The hospital provided service to nearly 90 patients despite resource constraints on Monday.

Dr Pujara informed that the average daily arrival of patients is 50. But the number surged in recent days, thereby exposing the limitation of facility.

The people from Thehe, Jodam, Dandaphaya, Dharapori, Buraunse, Bargau, Yanchu, Maja, Chhipra and among other villages visit the district hospital. 

Although the number of people visiting hospital has surged, there is no shortage of medicine, the Dr added.  (RSS)
