Patients are not being admitted to Palpa Hospital after the breakdown of the oxygen plant. Due to lack of oxygen for the past few days, the hospital did not admit patients.
The oxygen plant could not be operated due to the negligence of the hospital administration. Dr. has not been able to admit patients for the past few days due to lack of oxygen supply in the hospital beds. Rajendra Poudel said. Although Palpa Hospital has its own oxygen plant, it has been deteriorating repeatedly since last one year. Although there are 15 beds in the hospital, not a single patient is kept.
Rameshwar Devkota, Medical Superintendent of Palpa Hospital, was on a long vacation, causing more problems. Dr. Since Devkota is on leave, he is not even able to take responsibility and work in the office. Dr. said that he is not authorized to spend money and has the right to work only for administrative purposes. Rajendra Poudel said. "Efforts are being made to build an oxygen plant," Dr. Poudel said, "We have been assured that it will be built in three to four days." Ajayman Karmacharya, the newly appointed president of Palpa Hospital, said that the first task would be to repair the oxygen plant. Karmacharya, who was appointed only on Tuesday, said that he could not respond to many issues as he was still studying.
District Coordination Chief Tankanath Khanal, Chief District Officer Toynarayan Subedi and others have inspected Palpa Hospital and instructed the hospital administration to repair the oxygen plant immediately. Palpa Hospital has a production capacity of 420 liters per minute from the pressure swing adaptation method plant. There is a plant capable of filling 50 cylinders of 40 liters capacity per day with
connected boosters. This plant can fill 10 cylinders at a time. Two bed ventilators and 5 bed ICU have been installed in Palpa Hospital with a budget of 3 crores. The hospital said that all of them had to be closed. More than 300 patients are receiving services in the outpatient department of Palpa Hospital.
