Manipal Teaching Hospital
All the nurses, doctors and technicians I met were able to competently deal with my minor injury. They were all really helpful and focussed on their jobs.
But . . . the facility itself was terrifying, especially as it’s a teaching hospital. It seems that a high standard of cleanliness and sterility is not considered necessary. Yikes! Even though they are surely operating on much too small a budget, one would hope they could make cleanliness a higher priority. It was not reassuring that didn’t see a single cleaner working in the building during the two hours I was there.
The building itself is huge and pretty new, but it seemed that impressiveness was a higher priority than functionality in some ways.
The only wheelchair I saw was a crude, makeshift one fashioned out of a plastic chair on a wheelchair base; and I only saw a single gurney.
In the emergency room, where I was treated, the first thing I saw was that one of the beds had a dirty sheet on it, and the others had none (which was undoubtedly an improvement, though no one was cleaning them between patients.) A sick person was brought in an given the bed with the dirty sheet. No effort was made to even straighten it out, much less change it for a clean one. It looked like it had been there all day. Walking past other wards, I saw beds that had only half a sheet on them, which struck me as odd.
Then I noticed the trash. There were several open bins with labels like ‘non-risky paper’, ‘non-risky plastic’, ‘’needles, and ‘risky trash’. The risky trash was also in an open bin!
The toilets were not well-maintained. No toilet seat on the one Western style toilet I found.
I was at one point asked to lie down in the ‘green’ ward, which was apparently for people with minor injuries and other ailments. There was no sheet on the bed or I wouldn’t have gone near it. While there, I sustained a few insect bites—not something you want in a hospital where there are many seriously ill patients! Thankfully, diseases like malaria are uncommon up here.
There was also a lack of chairs in the ER. I had to stand at the nurses’ station for quite a while, which was a bit challenging as I had a knee injury.
I went there instead of a place like CIWEC that is maintained at an international standard because the cost was far, far, far more reasonable. An x-ray with two views cost less than 300 NPR, while it was $31 per view at CIWEC according to their website! I paid 70NPR as a registration/consultation fee.
If I was really sick or seriously injured, though, I sure wouldn’t want to go there. I should mention that I am an American who was raised in a medical family, so my expectations for hospital cleanliness and maintenance are really high.
