Executive Director of Jhapa-based B & C Hospital, Durga Prasain, has announced to give the hospital to the government for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

In a statement today, Prasain said he was ready to provide the hospital to the government if the latter wants to run stating that the hospital has no PPE and kits needed for the doctors for the tests of COVID-19 patients.

The 800-bed hospital has 100 ICU beds and 25 ventilators with 100 doctors.

“We are not able to treat and test the COVID-19 patients for lack of kits and PPE sets that can be availed only from the government. We are ready to give the hospital in this adverse situation if the government wants to use this hospital for the treatment and test of coronavirus,” read the statement.
