The hospital said that due to lack of funds and lack of structure to operate the machine, it is not being used. DB Bahadur Thapa, chairman of the hospital management committee, said that since the machine could not be put into use for a long time, the local patients could not be served.
Similarly, five dialysis machines worth Rs. The machine could not be put into operation because the city’s own hospital was not operational. Vimala Aryal, mayor of Sunwal Municipality, also said that the machine could not be put into operation due to lack of finances and lack of technology.
