Dispute Erupts Over Upgrading Lamki Hospital to Provincial Status Amidst Coordination Failure

Dhangadhi. The upgrading of the 15-bed Lamki Hospital in Lamki Chuha Municipality, Kailali, to a 50-bed Provincial Hospital has become controversial.

The upgrading work is in limbo due to a lack of coordination and administrative arrogance between the Sudurpashchim Provincial Government and the Lamki Chuha Municipality. The issue of hospital upgrading has become contentious as a battle of prestige is currently underway between the two governments instead of cooperation in development work.
