Jun 15, Kathmandu - After nearly a month of closure, Bir Hospital's CT scan machine is back in operation. The service was halted due to technical issues with the equipment, forcing patients to seek costly tests at private clinics.

According to hospital authorities, the machine underwent necessary repairs and technical checks, leading to the resumption of the CT scan service. With the service restored, patients requiring daily scans are now relieved.

The shutdown had particularly affected emergency and complex health cases, causing inconvenience to many. The hospital has assured that the service will now operate on a regular schedule.

A hospital source emphasized that ongoing maintenance will be prioritized to ensure the machine's optimal performance and uninterrupted service.
