Sudurpaschim’s biggest hospital is unprepared for Nepal Covid-19 surge

The situation at the Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi of the Sudurpaschim province is like any other hospital in the country. Its wards are full of Covid-19 patients as the hospital is occupied to the maximum. Doctors, not wanting people to die, have even put up beds on the passageway of the hospital.

Anyone who goes to the biggest hospital in the province will see how dire the situation is. People who are not fortunate to receive oxygen support are struggling to live. Some on the verge of giving up, while some are fighting on. This hospital is another example of Nepal’s lack of preparedness for the ongoing pandemic.
