Construction of extended two-storeyed hosapital building in Bamauk nearly completes

The construction of an extended two-storeyed building in Bamauk township People’s hospital compound in Katha district, Sagaing region, has nearly completed.
The extended building will be initiated very soon with the aim of providing better healthcare service to locals. The hospital building project started on 27 May 2019, with K441.1 million funded by the medical services Department under the Ministry of Health and Sports budget of 2019-2020FY. Lwin Moe Aung Myin company in charge of engineer U Thura Win is responsible for the construction project.
The extended 500-bed hospital building is 16,800 square feet wide, with two operation-rooms and a maternity ward.
Currently, the township People’s hospital is an existing 25-bed hospital, which does not have enough beds for emergency patients and sets up the ones in the corridor.
Now, the new hospital building was constructed entirely. After opening, the hospital will deal with emergency cases occurring within the township. Officials and staff from the Ministry of Health and Sports have provided medical services to residents from Bamauk and more than 100,000 residents from 220 villages in 50 village-tracts in the township. — Hlaing Bwa (Bamauk)/GNLM
