Karnali hospitals don’t have enough human resources to fight Covid-19

The situation in Karnali Province is becoming increasingly worrisome since the mortality rate among critical Covid-19 patients is high, say health workers.

On Tuesday night, Bishal Sunar, a resident of Narayan Municipality Ward No. 1 in Dailekh, telephoned the Corona Special Hospital in Surkhet after his Covid-19 infected father’s health condition worsened. Doctors at the hospital advised him to admit his father to Dailekh Hospital since the latter had beds with ventilators.
