Kathmandu Medical College Launches Special Subsidy Program for Underprivileged Patients

Kathmandu. To ensure that no one is deprived of medical treatment due to financial constraints, Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) has introduced a special subsidy program. KMC, located in Duwakot, Bhaktapur, has announced that it will provide medical services with full or partial discounts, targeting the most underprivileged citizens from various remote districts of the country.

This service has been initiated through the special efforts of Dr. Sunil Kumar Sharma, who is also a former member of the House of Representatives. According to Dr. Sharma, priority for this service will be given to patients from the most remote and economically disadvantaged areas of the country, including Morang district.

Under this initiative, underprivileged patients from Humla, Jumla, Dolpa, Mugu, Kalikot, Rolpa, Rukum, and Salyan in Karnali and Lumbini provinces will receive this facility. Similarly, patients from Solukhumbu, Okhaldhunga, Khotang, Bhojpur, Dhankuta, Terhathum, and Taplejung in Koshi Province, as well as Dolakha, Kavre, Sindhupalchok, Nuwakot, Dhading, and Gorkha in Bagmati and Gandaki provinces, will also benefit.

Patients from these districts will receive special discounts or fully free treatment services at KMC's Super Specialty Hospital in Duwakot, based on an assessment of their financial status.

Underprivileged patients wishing to avail of this facility must contact the hospital with a recommendation form as per 'Schedule-2' from their respective municipality or ward office, along with other necessary documents.
