Critical Covid-19 patients can’t get treatment in Lamjung

The district has not set up an ICU facility even after receiving funds six months ago.

On May 19, Gandaki provincial government had allocated Rs 16.9 million to the District Community Hospital in Lamjung for the construction of an intensive care unit with ventilators and other medical equipment. Six months into the plan and the hospital has yet to manage the infrastructure and necessary medical equipment required to operate the ICU.
