Provincial government to take over ailing Bayalpata Hospital

Move comes after falling donor support pushed the hospital to suspend crucial services.

After years of financial crisis threatening its services, the Bayalpata Hospital in Sanfebagar Municipality of Achham district will formally be brought under the management of the Sudurpaschim provincial government from August 17. The hospital, which has been offering free specialist care for nearly two decades, was previously operated by Nyaya Health Nepal, a non-profit, with support from international donors.
