New 10-Bed Hospital Built in Umakunda After 6 Years

New 10-Bed Hospital Built in Umakunda After 6 Years

Published about 23 hours ago

After a six-year delay, a new 10-bed basic hospital building has been completed in the remote Bamtibhandar area of Umakunda Rural Municipality, Ramechhap. Built at a total cost of 91.9 million rupees—funded primarily by the federal government alongside local contributions—the facility aims to provide accessible local healthcare and eliminate the need for residents to travel far for treatment. However, fully operating the hospital remains a significant challenge as it requires at least 22 staff members, including medical doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, and administrative personnel. Initiated in December 2020 under a nationwide government campaign to establish basic hospitals across 396 local levels, the completed building brings hope to locals, though timely deployment of medical personnel is crucial for its actual operation.

Nepal Performs First CAR-T Cell Cancer Treatment

Nepal Performs First CAR-T Cell Cancer Treatment

Published about 23 hours ago

In a historic medical milestone, Nepal has successfully performed its first-ever cancer treatment using genetically engineered cells (CAR-T cell therapy) at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Kathmandu. Two weeks ago, a 20-year-old female patient suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (blood cancer) underwent the procedure, and her condition is currently reported as stable. The T-cells were extracted from the patient and genetically modified by the Center for Regenerative Medicine Nepal (CRM Nepal) to target and destroy cancer cells. Approved for clinical use by Nepal's Department of Drug Administration in March 2026, this breakthrough initiative aims to eliminate the need for expensive treatments abroad, significantly expanding advanced cancer care access within the country.

In response to public outcry and to ensure an impartial probe, the ministry has removed the hospital's acting medical superintendent, Dr. Santosh Prasad Sah, from his administrative duties. The committee, led by the administration division chief, will investigate the matter and recommend strict action if negligence by doctors or staff is proven.
