The 15-bed hospital was constructed at a cost of Rs 145 million and replaces the health post building where the hospital had previously operated.
Hospital moves into a new facility
The opening marks the first time Ichchhakamana Basic Hospital has delivered services from a purpose-built hospital facility. Until now, it had been operating from a health post building.

The building has capacity for 15 beds. Its construction cost Rs 145 million, according to the details provided about the project. The hospital is located in Kurintar, within Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality-4 of Chitwan.

Chief Minister Kiran Thapa Magar formally inaugurated the new building on Sunday. The hospital began providing services from the facility following the inauguration, bringing the change from its former premises into effect.
