Nepalgunj (Banke), Nov 3: The Bheri Hospital in Nepalgunj, Banke district has recently launched specialized services for the diagnosis and treatment of lung, respiratory and sleep-related disorder.
Dr Ranjit Pandey of the Hospital expressed his confidence that the services would benefit patients suffering from chronic respiratory diseases and sleep disorders.
The services cover chronic asthma, persistent cough, breathing difficulties, fluid accumulation in the chest, tuberculosis, pulmonary fibrosis and other lung diseases, explained Dr Pandey. Patients with sleep-related problems, including snoring, breathing interruptions during sleep, daytime sleepiness and persistent tiredness, can also receive treatment, he informed.
The public healthcare facility will also provide treatment for drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis, as well as intensive care for patients with severe pneumonia and other critical conditions, he added. Furthermore, specialized care will also be available for patients on ventilators, including ventilator management and safe removal from breathing support.
Similarly, Medical Superintendent at the Hospital Dr Nabin Darnal said a special clinic for patients with chronic lung diseases, lung cancer and sleep disorders is also operating at the Hospital. The new services are expected to spare the patients in the region from having to travel to other places for specialized treatment. —
