Nepal
Police
Hospital
was
inaugurated
by
the
late
king
Birendra
Bir
Bikram
Shah
Dev
on
the
27th
of
Chaitra,
2040
BS.
It
was
established
with
an
intention
to
provide
free
health
services
to
in-
service
policemen,
their
families
and
ex-servicemen
and
their
spouses.
The
hospital
commenced
OPD
services
and
25
bedded
indoor
services
through
5
medical
doctors,
a
few
nurses,
paramedics
and
administrative
staff.
The
infrastructure
then
was
built
with
the
financial
support
of
the
Government
of
Nepal
and
voluntary
contribution
of
the
police
personals.
Some
instruments
and
equipments
were
donated
by
the
Government
of
India
and
a
Japanese
club.
The
Government
of
Nepal
has
been
bearing
all
the
expenses
of
the
hospital
ever
since
its
establishment
(infrastructure
development,
upgrading
human
resources
and
equipments).
The
routine
annual
budget
allocated
by
the
government
to
the
hospital
is
inadequate
to
meet
the
increasing
demand
of
health
services
of
the
staffs
of
the
Police
organization.
Therefore,
Prahari
Kalyan
Kosh
(Police
Welfare
Fund)
of
Nepal
Police
has
established
a
trust
to
provide
health
services
to
the
family
members
of
the
serving
policemen
and
ex-servicemen
and
their
spouses.
The
fund
supports
to
purchase
medicines
for
physically
and
mentally
handicapped
and
Renal
Failure
patients.
It
also
provides
variable
additional
budget
every
year
to
further
support
the
above
mentioned
group
of
patients.
Though
the
spectrum
of
services
provided
by
the
hospital
in
the
initial
stage
was
minimal,
it
had
a
great
positive
impact
on
all
the
policemen
and
medical
professionals.
