Revamping Health Care

                               Namaste from DCWC Community Hospital Team, Nepal

Our hospital journey began way back in 2008 with the desire of providing quality health services to the Communities.  Its was Officially opened on 2010 for public. 

A dedicated pharmacy and inquiry zone were opened on April 24, 2011, In early days core services such as a laboratory, pharmacy, and 100MA X-ray machine were put in place to support patient care.There were further additions, bringing a sense of stability and expansion as the first floor of the old building was inaugurated on November 6, 2013. The hospital further expanded by adding a Kitchen cum Guest Building by October 21, 2017, to offer better facilities to staffs, Guests and Volunteers. All possible because of the kind Hearted Donors.

One of the major milestones was achieved in 2016 when the hospital had a new, larger building constructed, courtesy of support from the Government of Nepal. On February 2, 2017, the hospital pharmacy unit was officially registered as the DCWC Community Hospital Pharmacy Unit under the Department of Drug Administration (DDA). This ensured an uninterrupted drug supply with annual renewal, guaranteeing continuity of pharmacy services.

 While the new building still was under construction, The Ground Floor  became an isolation ward during the 2nd wave for COVID-19. Later on it was converted to Emergency Ward. Replacing  the 100MA X-ray machine with the advanced 300MA DR machine, significantly increasing diagnostic capabilities.  More Advance Lab Facilities were introduced. The "Safe Motherhood Program" helped significantly decrease maternal and child death rates by encouraging delivery  at hospital's Birthing Center providing safety to both mother and child.

Recognizing the need for immediate transport, TATA Motors facilitated ambulance services, launching the first ambulance on September 25, 2011. However, as time passed, the vehicle became outdated, prompting the introduction of a second ambulance in April 2018. Most recently, another ambulance was added in 2023, ensuring that emergency services remain uninterrupted.

 We were able to extend the Dental Services on March 11, 2024 which is running successfully and providing much-needed dental services to the public.

As we look to the future, we envision further service expansion in the New 4  storay Building accommodate physiotherapy and eye care facilities, broadening our scope of services. Every milestone we achieve strengthens our commitment to making high-quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all. The journey continues, and with each step forward, we remain dedicated to our mission of serving the people with compassion and excellence.

We are very thankful to all of our donors and hope we will always be together on this beautiful journey.
