‘We may not have enough health workers to attend to patients’

Hospitals treating Covid-19 patients lack sufficient personal protective equipment, putting health workers at high risk of exposure. As more and more health workers get infected, other hospital departments are closing.

Dr Dinesh Kafle, executive director at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, was counting the number of personal protective equipment like body covers, N-95 masks, gloves, shoe covers and other essentials in stock on Tuesday afternoon when the Post contacted him.
