Patan Hospital celebrated its 20th anniversary Tuesday. “Patan Hospital still retains much of that goodness from the old Shanta Bhawan Hospital- a mission to serve with skill and compassion all who come to us; a special place for the poor and a spirit that makes extradordinatry things happen,”
said Dr.Mark Zimmerman, medical director of the Hospital. Late King Birendra laid for the foundation stone of the Hospital two decades ago. “It is heartening to find that this hospital has reached this stage over such a short period,” Health Minister Dr.Upendra Devkota said.
