UMHT* celebrated its 70th anniversary on 15 June in style, kicked off with an enthusiastic motorcycle and car rally round the bazaar, including placards with the hospital’s values and a group of cheer leaders in the back of the largest vehicle. The new admin block of the hospital was formally opened by Hospital Services Director Yub Raj Acharya. Four people wrote poems on the theme of the hospital’s 70 years and a long-serving expat couple (the Dornons) sang a special song. Speeches, a special cake and khaja (snack) were shared. There was a slide show too, with the hospital history and photos from down the years.
Congratulations to *United Mission Hospital Tansen! We give thanks to God and all those involved over the decades for the service of the hospital to patients from Palpa District and far beyond. Here’s to 70 more years of faithful service!
