BPKIHS launches 30-bed dengue ward over soaring cases of dengue fever
The BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan has additionally allotted 30 beds dedicated to the treatment of dengue.
The 30-bed dengue ward came into operation on Sunday.
Now, Dharan Sub-Metropolis in Sunsari and adjoining areas are in a grip of dengue fever.
As the number of dengue cases continues to rise in Sunsari and the surrounding areas, the existing medical facilities at BPKIHS, such as the 'central emergency' and the 'dengue clinic,' are no longer sufficient to handle the situation, according to BPKIHS acting vice-chancellor Prof Dr Prahlad Karki.
In the past two days, the 50-bed 'observation ward' has been largely occupied by dengue patients.
Eighty-five percent of beds in the ward are occupied by dengue patients. The emergency ward in the hospital received 60-75 dengue cases each day.
Allegations fabricated
Charges leveled against me (vis-a-vis the 100-kg gold smuggling case) are totally false and fabricated. What’s the motive? I see things from two perspectives. First, whenever some big scandal happens, our police and political system face pressure to identify the main culprit immediately. Buckling under pressure, they fabricate a character.
Second, all this is meant to divert public attention and protect the main culprit. There’s another baffling thing in this case. It is cheaper and more profitable to purchase brake shoes produced in India in the same country. No trader can make profit by importing brake shoes from Hong Kong via air. Our customs officials don’t even know a basic thing?
The government has formed a panel to probe the case. It should identify the main culprit through a proper and impartial investigation; it should expose the nexus involved. Linking a businessperson in this case is a character assassination attempt.
