Madhyabindu District Hospital

The first plans for the 100-bed hospital in Kawasoti in southern Nepal have been in the works since 2018. Construction began just before the COVID-19 crisis. As a result of this and political restructuring, further construction was delayed until 2022. In 2023, the district government of Gandaki and NHB contractually agreed that NHB would contribute a total of 1 million euros to the construction. In spring and autumn 2023, board member Manfred Lindner and other members were able to see the progress of the construction work for themselves. Both NHB and the government are currently working hard to get the new clinic up and running by the end of 2025. During his visit in March 2024, Manfred Lindner, the Health Minister of the Gandaki province, promised the government that the necessary financial resources would be provided in the summer of 2024. Work is progressing even during the monsoon season, so that the roof can be put on in July 2024. At the same time, the interior work is also progressing.

At the end of September, a delegation from the NHB visited the construction site and was informed about the progress. The ground floor and first floor, which were financed by the NHB, are now scheduled to be completed at the beginning of 2025.
