What Nepal Medical College does

Nepal Medical College (legal entity: Nepal Medical College Pvt. Ltd.) is a private medical educational institution and integrated teaching hospital headquartered in Attarkhel, Jorpati, Kathmandu, Nepal. Founded in 1997, it operates a 500-bed general hospital licensed by Nepal's Ministry of Health and Population under the Public Health Service Act, 2075 and Public Health Service Rules, 2077, with the license renewed in 2025. The hospital delivers multi-specialty clinical services including cardiology, nephrology, neurology, oncology, gastroenterology, dental care, critical care medicine, hemodialysis, CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis), and cancer treatment, supplemented by preventive "GoodPlans" health packages and free community health camps.

The institution runs undergraduate and postgraduate medical education programs and maintains research infrastructure including a specialized cholera research laboratory established in 2023 in collaboration with the Global Disease Eradication Fund, Korea International Fund, International Vaccine Institute Korea, and the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B). It publishes the JNMCTH academic journal and operates the NMC Research sub-brand. Patient-facing digital infrastructure includes an online appointment booking system and a separate online lab report retrieval portal, both hosted on the institutional website nmcth.edu.

The company monetizes through three primary streams: professional healthcare services (consultations, diagnostics, treatments, surgeries), recurring medical education programs, and subscription-based preventive health packages. Customer segments are split between general public/patients receiving direct care, medical students enrolled in academic programs, and international research institutions accessing laboratory infrastructure. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the hospital and website, with no enterprise sales motion, no app distribution, and no disclosed outside funding; expansion is funded through operating cash flow and the 2025 capacity upgrade is regulatorily approved.
