Established four years ago, this hospital has been treating 150 to 180 patients daily. In addition, dozens of services have been added to the hospital.
Since last Asoj, this hospital has also been operating a maternity service including operations. With the help of Galkot Samaj UK, a physiotherapy room has been operating, and the hospital also has a post-mortem service. After pregnant women started coming regularly for maternity services, a maternity waiting house has been built here. A three-room Kuruwa house has also been built so that service recipients and relatives do not have to look for a hotel.
The pregnant woman and her companion will be able to stay here before giving birth. There are cooking utensils and a stove along with the room. The building was built by Galkot Municipality and the Address Project, which is run here, with an investment of Rs 4 lakh and Rs 8 lakh, respectively. Apart from Galkot Nagar, patients from Tarakhola and Badigad Rural Municipality as well as Musikot Municipality in Gulmi also come to this hospital. Since patients undergoing surgery also come, the patient's nannies have been able to come and stay.
In the 8 months of the current year, 150 pregnant women have sought maternity services at the hospital, and 37 have undergone surgery. According to the hospital administration, 77 relatives of the pregnant women have returned home after spending at least one night here. Some have even stayed here for 7 days.
This waiting room was built with an investment of Rs 4 lakh and an additional investment of Rs 8 lakh by the municipality. The room has been designed to accommodate three families at once. Galkot Nagar Hospital, which had delivered 80 babies in the previous fiscal year, has seen more than 150 deliveries this year, said hospital chief Dr. Rajesh Poudel.
