General
information
There is
limited documentation on Panda hospital. It should actually be defined as a
settlement, because there are no hospital facilities.
52 people
live in the settlement of which 16 are affected by leprosy.
Since 1998 no
new people have been admitted to the settlement.
Medical
services
There is no
in-patient department but there is a daily clinic (OPD), run by a paramedic. A
sub health centre is located 700 meter from the settlement for general health
issues, especially mother and child care; it is run by a midwife.
The nearest
health centre is located 12 km from the settlement and a general hospital 10 km
away. They are willing to treat leprosy patients, but there is no workshop for
footwear or prosthesis.
