B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital (BPKMCH):
His Majesty's Government Of Nepal in 1992 established the B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital (BPKMCH), a statuary autonomous National Cancer Care Center to address the acute need of total comprehensive cancer care in Nepal.
During official visit of the Prime Minister Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala on March 18, 1992, the government of People's Republic of China agreed to assist in building this hospital. The hospital began day care services to the patients from October 11, 1995, whereas full-fledged OPD services started from June 6, 1999 and inpatient service started from July 20, 1999. The hospital was inaugurated on September 28, 2000. At present, 100 beds are in operation. In near future total capacity of the hospital will be 300 beds.
To establish a comprehensive National Cancer Institute after the name of the people's leader late B.P. Koirala, to provide high quality services for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research on Cancer, and to gain self-reliance in human resource required for the same.
The innovations and findings made in the medical science across the world have also improved the health condition of Nepalese people. Control over some communicable diseases, improved obstetric care and better coverage in immunization has increased life expectancy. The improved communication facilities including greater opportunity for education and rapidly growing urbanization are contributory factors to changes in life style and human behavior. Yet the general trend can not be stated to be satisfactorily. The magnitude of the problem and the impact of the increased, indiscriminate and irrational use of chemicals in the farms, adulteration along with improper storage of food materials are yet to be assessed.
