Hospital is a basic requirement, but it is unfortunate when people don’t get this basic need. In Nepal, there are many places without hospitals. It has caused the untimely death of many people. This situation especially prevails in remote areas of Nepal. In the absence of hospitals, People die of even the smallest disease. And the situation is even worse when there are hospitals but no doctors. Doctors don’t want to go and work in a remote area. This has cost many people their lives. In many places, the scenario is such that even if there are hospitals, they are so poorly equipped that it is of no use.
In the most developed cities as well, sometimes hospitals are very poorly equipped. People often travel abroad for better treatment, with significant destinations being India, the USA, Thailand, etc. Still, many diseases can’t be treated in Hospitals here, but we can’t deny that we have developed a lot in the past few years. There are many excellent and well-equipped hospitals. Today in the article, we are making a list of those hospitals:

Bir Hospital
When we talk about hospitals, there is no way we forget Bir Hospital, the oldest hospital in Nepal. I don’t think there is anyone who hasn’t heard of Bir Hospital. Bir Hospital is a government-owned hospital solely focused on delivering health care. But in recent years, the condition of Bir hospitals has been deteriorating. With many private hospitals with better facilities, Bir Hospital could not cope with it. The infrastructure and equipment were so poorly built that people stopped going to Bir Hospital. Only those who couldn’t afford other hospitals started going to Br Hospital because of its cheaper fees being a government hospital.
But today, the scenario is different; multiple efforts have been made to improve the situation of Bir Hospital. With better facilities and services, Bir Hospital is again maintaining its reputation. People have again started trusting and visiting the hospital. The government and many INGOs and NGOs started working for Bir Hospital. So now the condition has improvised.
There is now a systematic ticket counter, well-equipped labs, and well-built infrastructures. The establishment of a Trauma center will add another asset to it. By the end of 2020, Bir Hospital will add 100 beds to the existing 550 beds. Likewise, Surgical block construction is going on rapidly. We can be more hopeful about the future of Bir Hospital in the future.
Bir Hospital is one of the oldest hospitals in Nepal. It is a non-profit organization, or we can say it is a government-owned hospital. It was established in July 1889 by Bir Shamsher to provide people with health facilities. It is located in the center of Kathmandu near RNAC. It is also called NAMS (National Academy of Medical Sciences). The hospital provides medical and surgical treatment with a capacity of 535 beds. It is one of the cheap and service-oriented hospitals in Nepal.
