Multi-billion-rupee Geta Medical College infrastructure rotting away

A dispute between the education and health ministries over the ownership of the infrastructure blamed for the delay in operation of the medical facility.

With an objective to operate a 600-bed hospital and provide medical education, physical infrastructures have been constructed in Geta of Kailali district at the cost of Rs6.68 billion. However, the newly built health infrastructures are already falling into disrepair before becoming fully operational. Despite the completion of 28 modern buildings in the fiscal year 2020-21, a lack of maintenance and operation has left the infrastructures neglected for four years.
