GULMI: Patients visiting the area health post in Badagaon VDC in the district have been deprived of medical care in the lack of health workers. This has especially hit the patients of viral fever. The health post in-charge and another female staffer have been out of office for the last five days to attend a training in the district health office. Meanwhile, Dr Suresh Paudel of district health office said all would be solved after the health workers join their duties in the completion of the training. District Hospital Tamghas has been treating patients of pneumonia, fever and viral influenza on the floor as the patients have outnumbered the beds.
