'We cannot say anything about the condition yet,' the hospital said, 'His condition can deteriorate at any time.' Doctors involved in the treatment informed that although it is difficult to save the patient due to fire affecting his face and respiratory system, their efforts are ongoing. Nepali, who is on a ventilator in the 'Burn ICU Ward' of Bir Hospital, has suffered 55 percent burns. A special team of 21 people, led by Dr. Piyush Dahal, Coordinator of the Plastic Surgery Department at Bir Hospital, including Unit Chief Dr. Apar Lamichhane, Critical Care Dr. Nirman Gyawali, Anesthetist Jaiprakash Thakur, Prof. Dr. Raviram Shrestha, and healthcare workers from the nursing service, are involved in Nepali's treatment.
