The Gokulganga Hospital in Ramechhap built with the help of dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation® has been in continuous service ever since the outbreak of COVID-19. A temporary compound has been built around the hospital with a security guard in place round the clock. A doctor and 2 nurses have been stationed at the hospital. The municipality managed other necessary materials like medical equipment, beds, medicine supplies and COVID-19 testing equipment. About 18 temporary toilets have been built nearby to be used by the people quarantined. An ambulance is on standby. Out of the 54 people quarantined, 11 tested positive. They have now recovered and are home.

The Mayor Mr. Khadga Bahadur Sunuwar says, “We are grateful that this hospital building was built at the right time. Without this space it would have been very difficult for us. I would like to thank the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation with all my heart for their generosity.” As of 24 June, there has been no COVID-19 related death in Gokulganga Municipality.
