The center, which offers health services to the people of Sripur, Rampur, Balisipur, Beldandi, Shankarpur, Kalika, Laxmipur and Tribhuwanbasti VDCs in the southern belt is being run by a public health inspector.
“I am somehow managing all the work. I also have to handle the patients´ aggression at times,” said public health inspector Yogendra Prasad Bhatta. He said he referred patients to Dhangadhi and Mahendranagar for further treatment. However, patients usually choose to go to India.
Bhatta said he had no options other than referring the patients elsewhere. “We can´t provide services of a doctor and only treat ordinary ailments,” said assistant health worker Krishna Prasad Joshi.
“There authorities have turned a deaf ear to our repeated pleas to depute a doctor here,” Joshi added. He said the center has all the facilities except for an ambulance.
