Medical facilities throughout Nepal are adjusting their operations for the upcoming Dashain festival, which spans from October 17 to October 24. While the government-mandated public holidays will lead to the closure of most outpatient departments, causing a temporary halt to routine check-ups and non-urgent consultations, healthcare providers are prioritizing critical care. Hospitals have organized rotational schedules for nursing and medical staff to ensure that emergency units and inpatient wards remain fully functional throughout this period. Authorities anticipate a potential rise in patient traffic at emergency departments, as individuals requiring medical attention during the holiday break will rely on these essential services. Patients are advised that regular hospital appointments will resume once the holiday period concludes.
