A hospital is going to be built in Betheri in Rupandehi to facilitate the treatment and service delivery of cancer. Lumbini Chief Minister Chetnarayan Acharya on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of the Sumitra Memorial Cancer Hospital building to be built at Mayadevi Rural Municipality-6, Bethri.
Laying the foundation stone of the hospital building, Chief Minister Acharya said that the increasing impact of non-communicable diseases like cancer is a matter of concern for human life. Informing that the state government is supporting the treatment of patients with serious diseases like cancer, he mentioned that the problem is becoming more serious as the number of patients of this nature is increasing in recent times.
Chief Minister Acharya said that he is well aware of the problems faced by patients and their families and that he has prioritized making the treatment effective. "Since the establishment of the province, I have been constantly raising my voice in the Parliament on the issue of support for cancer patients," he said.
'We have been successful in starting the treatment support program since the time of the founder Chief Minister Shankar Pokharel,' he added, 'I am also a person who has been dealing with cancer for a long time. Now I am among you after overcoming cancer. I know all too well what it's like to be sick. We work and are working in favor of patients.'
Chief Minister Acharya expressed the view that efforts of the private sector should be taken positively, saying that it would be difficult to make treatment services accessible to all with the sole efforts of the government.
The construction of a hospital in Bethri has been started with the aim of providing treatment and services for cancer. Construction of a 100-bed hospital building has started at a cost of one and a half billion rupees on an area of 2 bigahas and 5 kathas. A target has been taken to operate 50 bed services within the next one and a half years. According to Arjun Poudel, founder and operator of
hospital, primary treatment and surgery for cancer will be started in coordination with Siddharth City Hospital in Bhairawa from this June. "We will make a 100-bed hospital fully operational within two years," he said.
hospital is a joint venture of oncologists working abroad and Nepali businessmen including Arjun Paudel. He said that the hospital will be made common by adding other operators in the future.
