Organization:

Rapti Academy of Health Sciences was established by the Legislature-Parliament with the unanimous endorsement of the ‘Rapti Health Science Academy Bill, 2074' on 10 October 2017. This is a landmark step towards expanding medical access to the public in the Province no 5. RAHS is currently a 111-bedded tertiary center. RAHS does not have any medical, surgical, cardiac, pediatric, neonatal and postanesthesia critical care unit. Despite this, we have a great number of patients being referred to the center. As the institute is in a growing phase, we are determined to uplift the quality care to the patients of this region. The construction part of a sixbedded ICU is almost accomplished. The next challenge we look forward is to equip it and to run it by efficient manpower.

Population Served:

All the districts of Province no. 5, i.e. Nawalparasi, Rupandehi, Kapilbastu, Palpa, Arghakhanchi, Gulmi, Rukum, Rolpa, Pyuthan, Dang, Baanke and. Bardiya. The total pouation of province 5 is 4,999,454. The population of Dang district is 633,500. We have diverse cases being referred to the center. The surrounding referral centers are more than 200 km apart and it takes almost 4 hours to reach the centers.  The center has been serving more than 80,000 thousands OPD and total emergency patients of 25000 annually. Due to lack of ICU facilities, we have lost number of patient during their transit to the other centers.
