A 50-bed health facility for a specific purpose has been established at Bharatpur municipality-10 in Chitwan.<\/p>\n
The facility named ‘Bharatpur Corona Special Hospital’ has been set up in 72 hours at Chitwan’s Exhibition Centre amidst a fear of the deadly coronavirous (COVID-19) infection which has already taken a global pandemic turn.<\/p>\n
The OPD service and general wards are coming into operation from today itself. The Bharatpur metropolis took an initiation to set up the facility.<\/p>\n
According to metropolis mayor Renu Dahal, medical workforce and employees to be deputed in the hospital have been given required orientation and training as per the World Health Organisation’s directions.<\/p>\n
They will be provided cent per cent incentive and safety gowns. Only those people suspected of having COVID-19 infection will be admitted to the hospital with the arrangements of food to internet service for health workers and patients.<\/p>\n
The 15-member task force headed by Mayor Dahal led the establishment of the hospital.<\/p>\n
According to task force Spokesperson Dr Bhojraj Adhikari, they had sought help of two government-run and two private medical colleges for the management of beds for the facility which has the support of private hospitals for pathology and radiology services.<\/p>\n
Besides local industry association and the chamber of commerce and industry have been cooperating with the metropolis from their respective sides to operate the hospital.<\/p>\n
The metropolis is bearing operating costs of the hospital.<\/p>\n
The hospital will manage a 10-bed intensive unit and a 10-bed high dependent unit, said Dr Adhikari. A seven-member management committee has been formed to operate the hospital.<\/p>\n
The local administration has directed to shut Manakamana cable car service, cinema halls and local markets in Chitwan district for the time being.<\/p>\n
