Kathmandu: Most of the hospitals outside Kathmandu lack modern facilities, with intensive care units (ICU), trained health workers and equipment concentrated disproportionately in the capital city.
\r\n\"More than 75 percent of hospitals in the country do not have any ICU. Some 95 percent of government hospitals are also without ICU services,\" said a high ranking official at the Ministry of Health (MoH), requesting anonymity. \"About 80 percent of ICU beds are in the hospitals of Kathmandu Valley.\" |
