Kathmandu Metropolitan City has provided 1,800 vials of anti-rabies vaccine to Shukraraj Tropical and Infectious Diseases Hospital. Acting Chief of the Metropolitan City Sunita Dangol reached the hospital on Friday and handed over the vaccine.
On the occasion, she said, 'After receiving information that there is a possibility of a shortage of vaccines in the hospital, we have provided assistance to the hospital to reduce potential public health risks. It is an infectious disease hospital where people go for treatment after being bitten by an animal. Symptoms cannot be waited for in this hospital. It cannot be said that treatment will be started after symptoms appear. Everyone must work together to reduce such risks.'
Hospital director Dr. Anup Bastola said that the hospital had sought assistance from the Metropolitan City as it was seen that there might be a shortage of vaccines due to the procurement process. He said, 'More than 200 people come to the hospital daily to get vaccinated against rabies. With the vaccines provided by the Metropolitan City, we can operate services for about 9 days.'
The Metropolitan City has provided the vaccine within 7 days of the request. This has made the hospital's services more convenient, says Dr. Bastola. The hospital is in the process of purchasing the vaccine and the vaccine stock in the store is low, so the Metropolitan City had requested the vaccine to prevent a situation of vaccine shortage.
