A modern and well-equipped Gautam Buddha Eye Care Center (Eye Hospital) has been put into operation at an investment of Rs 320 million in Siddharthanagar-1, Belhiya, Rupandehi. The hospital has come into operation with all the necessary facilities for eye treatment near the Indian border.
Eye doctor Anadi Khatri said that the hospital was put into operation six months ago with the aim of providing services available abroad at a subsidized price in Bhairahawa. ‘In a short period, more than 10,000 patients have had their eyes examined,’ he said, ‘so far, one thousand have undergone eye surgeries.’
The hospital is being operated in a modern three-storey building constructed along the Butwal-Belhiya road section. Since it is a hot place, the building has been fully air-conditioned. He said that this will help patients and visitors feel relief from the heat. ‘There are two modular operation theaters,’ he said, ‘the operation fee is also cheaper than in Kathmandu.’
According to him, patient registration and diagnosis are done on the first floor. In this process, most of the tests are done with the help of machines. All the machines are automatic. He said that the price of one machine is more than 20 to 30 million rupees.
He did his ‘fellowship’ at Ran Ambika Eye Hospital in Bhairahawa. Then he went to America for further studies. After returning from there, he said that he brought the hospital into operation in Bhairahawa. Doctor Sweta Singh Chhetri, who has served in eye treatment for more than 13 years, and Dr. Bal Kumar Khatri, who has served in eye treatment for more than 40 years, also have investments in the hospital. Eye doctor Muna is still studying eye cancer treatment in America.
After Muna returns, there are plans to operate an eye cancer treatment institute and a separate hospital for children in the same place as the hospital, said Dr. Khatri. He said that even though it is a private hospital, it charges cheap fees. ‘After paying a ticket of two hundred, all eye examinations are done,’ he said, ‘We have prepared various treatment packages. Such packages are 15-20 percent cheaper than the last one. ’
He said that since more than half a dozen members of the family are eye doctors, he brought the hospital into operation with a sense of service. He said that rather than earning a lot because he had his own investment, he brought the hospital into operation near the border to provide affordable treatment services to patients from Nepal and India.
