I visited Gandaki hospital this afternoon to see progress on UK-funded retrofitting work. This is helping:
🏥 make healthcare resilient to earthquakes
🏥 serve the community better
🏥 give more people access to quality healthcare.
Work underway in the old maternity ward👇
.#Bhaktapur Hospital @MoHP, a priority hospital for retrofitting & rehabilitating, the #resilience support under @NHSSP completes the concreting work of the 3rd-floor slab of the New #OperationTheater Building with the support from @UKinNepal
Great to have the Embassy team visit the #Bhaktapur Hospital🏥, which is being designed and retrofit with #UKaid support. The hospital caters to 880,000+ people.
.
Once completed, it will have a new OT & delivery services, significantly increasing its service capacity.

During last year's #COVID19 pandemic, the decanting units of #Bhaktapur and #Pokhara hospitals 🏥 were quickly repurposed so that #COVID19 patients could be treated safely and separately from general patients. #Nepal
This #COVID19 management center will raise the capacity of Pokhara's Western Regional Hospital by 48 isolation beds w/ 17 Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU) beds. The project is an initiative of #Nepal's @mohpnep through its Nepal Health Sector Support Programme @NHSSP-3. (2/3) #UKAid
Decanting buildings built to help retrofit #Pokhara’s Western Regional Hospital are being re-purposed as #COVID19 management centers, raising capacity by 48 isolation beds w/ 17 Intensive Therapy Unit beds. #UKaid & @MOHPnepal working together through @NHSSP to help save lives.
Responding to the demand for ICUs & Isolation Wards in Kathmandu and provinces to tackle #COVID19, decanting buildings built with #UKaid to aid retrofitting of #Pokhara’s Western Regional Hospital are being converted into COVID management centers. (1/3)
New OPD and Emergency building inaugurated on 27th July 2019 by Rt. Honorable Prime Minister KP Oli. The design of the building was supported by NHSSP Infrastructure team.
Our @NHSSP Health Infrastructure Team received a special thanks from the Prime Minister of Nepal today, for their support in reconstructing hospitals after the 2015 earthquakes - congratulations to the team! @DFIDNepal#UKAid
