X-ray Machine Left Idle for a Month, Patients Deprived of Service


Jumla: The Karnali Academy of Health Science (KAHS) has failed to provide x-ray services to the needy patients for a month. Those in need of x-ray and ultrasound services are badly impacted by the lack of the essential medical system, which is left unused due to the absence of a skilled workforce.



According to National News Agency Nepal, although there is an x-ray machine at the Hospital, it was left idle because there was no radiologist to operate it. Dr. Dabal Bahadur Dhami, Officiating Vice Chancellor of KAHS, stated that the Hospital has advertised for a radiologist but none had come in contact so far.



The health facility informed that it managed to restore the use of the CT scan, which was also disrupted for a week.
