In 2001, DHL made history for being the first government health institution to be handed over to an NGO. It was the first example of a public-private partnership in Nepal’s health sector. DHL is a district-level hospital that HDCS has been managing in partnership with the Government of Nepal. Before HDCS took over the management of DHL, the hospital was almost in a non-functioning state. The hospital barely had any patients and the infrastructure suffered badly due to negligence. HDCS raised the hospital from a 15 bedded hospital to a 65 bedded hospital. Additionally, the hospital provided advanced services at a minimal cost and free treatment for impoverished and disadvantaged communities.
