MUSTANG: Various modern medical equipment and other facilities have been recently upgraded at the District Hospital in Mustang district so as to render healthcare facilities to the locals more effectively.

Upgraded equipment includes two delivery beds, blood analysers and digital oxygen concentrators.

The Hospital has been equipped with the warmer machine for babies and elderly patients, keeping in view the relatively low temperature in the district, said District Public Health Office Chief Shambhu Gyawali.
