SAHODAR Hospital

SAHODAR Hospital

​What is now a thriving and greatly appreciated community hospital started out as a family home. On to it was built a church which served the growing Christian family. In 2015, with the building of a large extension the whole site was converted to serve as a 15 bed hospital. It contains two wards, an x-ray unit, operating theatre, consulting rooms, a pharmacy, a dental treatment unit, a testing laboratory and showers. On average 40 patients a day are seen.
A generator has been installed to ensure power is available at all times, as the area is prone to frequent power cuts. 
There is no National Health service in Nepal, so patients are expected to pay something for treatment. Often this is not possible, and charges are waved, or donations of home grown rice or chickens are accepted in lieu of payment!

Operating theatre

This was originally the church building, which has been converted for use as an operating theatre. Whilst very basic in western terms, is sufficiently equipped for most local needs.

x-ray unit

Whilst the unit might look basic, it is more than sufficient to provide the necessary images to help diagnose treatment.

Dr Shiva  

Here patients are waiting to see the highly acclaimed Dr Shiva who gave up a prestigious position in a city hospital to come and serve in the community in which he grew up.

Dr Shiva is still working tirlessly from the old hospital but we hope not for long . The two contrasting pictures above show how far the New Hospital has come in just 18 months. We are naturally delighted. The photographs below show a glimpse of the fresh interior decor.We look forward to when the local community can be can be treated here.
