The closure of the 15-bed health facility that was constructed at the cost of Rs 10 million has forced the locals to visit Pokhara, Syangja, Butwal, Palpa and Bhairahwa in need of medical treatment. Huwas lacks an advanced medical facility. Two US and four Nepali doctors were posted in the hospital before its closure. It was constructed by an American organisation.
The hospital building may collapse at any time it is not repaired on time, hospital former registrar Ganga Neupane said. Some 50 -100 patients used to visit the hospital daily. Treatments for various sorts of disease were available in the hospital. RSS
