LALITPUR: Mental Hospital in Lalitpur is struggling to render services to its growing number of patients due to severe manpower crunch. Whereas the hospital is supposed to have total eight specialists as per the government regulation, only five specialists are providing the service.
“A specialist needs to attend 50 out going patients daily,” said Ananta Adhikari, the chief consultant psychiatrist at the hospital. The Out Going Patient (OPD) section of the hospital receives 150 to 200 patients daily.
