Bajhang’s elderly receive new set of teeth

As many as 150 people received a new set of dentures at a health camp organised by the federal health ministry and Bajhang hospital.

Rana Bahadur Singh of Naura in Jayaprithvi Municipality-6, Bajhang, is in his eighties. A tall sprightly man, he often takes a two-hour walk to Chainpur, the district headquarters of Bajhang , and rarely looks his age except for when he smiles. His toothless gums have been haunting Singh ever since he started losing his teeth in his sixties.
