Due to lack of manpower, the kidney transplant service that started at Provincial Hospital Surkhet has been stopped for 6 months. Although two people were successfully transplanted on June 26, this service has been interrupted in the provincial hospital since then.
Shaheed Dharmabhakta National Transplant Center, Bhaktapur and State Hospital Birendranagar Surkhet agreed to start kidney transplant services and expand dialysis services. After that, 4 kidney transplants were done, but due to the lack of manpower in the provincial hospital, the service has stopped now.
Director of the National Transplantation Center Dr. Pukarchandra Shrestha and the then director of Provincial Hospital Surkhet Dr. Dumbar Khadka signed the memorandum of understanding for service operation and cooperation.

After the start of kidney transplant service at Provincial Hospital Surkhet, Karnali, who was happy, and the surrounding patients are once again disappointed. Patients who have reached the state hospital for kidney transplant are forced to go to Kathmandu again. Patients of this area are waiting for their turn for kidney transplant at Shahid Dharmabhakta National Transplantation Center .
A patient from Surkhet, who is waiting for a kidney transplant in Kathmandu, said that he was disappointed after the service was stopped, even though he had high hopes for the transplant in the district. "If he was in the provincial hospital, he thought that the financial burden would be less and the rush would be less," he said. Assets ran out during the treatment. A lot of expenses are being incurred in going to and from Kathmandu.' He said that if the service is available in Surkhet, the expenses and the rush of travel will be reduced.
The hospital has informed that the hospital could not resume the service due to the lack of full manpower required for kidney transplant . For kidney transplants, doctors such as urologists, nephrologists and transplant specialists are needed . The service has been stopped due to the lack of manpower in the provincial hospital. Apart from this, the necessary manpower, including physicians, is available in the provincial hospital.
Information officer of the hospital, Vinod Basnet, said that the service has stopped due to the lack of skilled medical personnel. "Earlier, manpower used to come from Bhaktapur and some teams from there used to work. But the work has stopped because there is no team there," he said. "We are preparing to resume the service again. We are trying to provide the service within January.' He said that the service has stopped because there are no doctors of the main 2 categories.
A surgeon (surgeon) also gave an entrance exam for a fellowship in this matter, so he said that the hospital has come to prepare manpower. Information Officer Basnet said that since the hospital itself does not have complete and skilled manpower for kidney transplant, regular services could not be provided. He said that two patients were given kidney transplants at the hospital development committee's expense.
Since the provincial hospital has been listed as a kidney transplant center, the hospital has received 4 lakh rupees from the government after the transplant. But the transportation and accommodation expenses of the team from the center have been borne by the hospital. Basnet says that the hospital has started this service for the convenience of the patients. According to
hospital, dialysis service is available in the hospital even before this agreement was signed. Currently, 55 people are receiving dialysis service twice a week, according to the hospital. 290 beds are currently being operated in the provincial hospital.
