Due to the lack of efficient manpower management, the ventilator machine purchased at the district hospital at a cost of more than 10 million has been standing still for three years. Karnali state government has not been able to operate the service for three years due to lack of management of skilled doctors and health workers who are trained to operate ventilators. Arjun Budhamgar said.

After showing no interest in operating the ventilator, the machine has broken down .
In 2076/077, the Karnali state government purchased machines and beds to operate a 6-bed ventilator and a 14-bed ICU from a budget of 25.8 million rupees. He said that although the ICU service is not operating, the beds are being used. He said, "A skilled team with specialist doctors is needed to run the ventilator service". ICU can be put into operation if there are skilled manpower. The ICU has not yet been put into operation. How to operate the ventilator service? The purchased equipment has been stored as it cannot be used.'
The 15-bed hospital established in 2044 has not been upgraded yet. The hospital has been serving the patients by arranging 40 beds with its own efforts. MDGP of the hospital Dr. Abhishek Singh said that because ICU and ventilator services could not be put into operation, there was a compulsion to send serious patients to Nepalgunj. Pramod Shrestha, chairman of the hospital development committee, said that initiatives are being taken to manage manpower and operate the blood bank, which has already been built.
