How we're supporting GBS and CIDP patients on the ground in Nepal — through hospital partnerships, direct patient outreach, and our growing Neuro AI Research Fellowship.
The President has already established partnerships with three major hospitals in Kathmandu. Whenever a new GBS patient is identified at these hospitals, the hospital contacts our foundation — our President and team members then visit the patient in person to provide mental and emotional support, encouragement, motivation, and any necessary assistance.
Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) is the premier public medical and referral center in Nepal, located in Maharajgunj, Kathmandu.
Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) is a medical education and healthcare institution in Nepal, affiliated with Kathmandu University. Established in 1997, KMC operates teaching hospitals in Sinamangal and Duwakot, Kathmandu, providing medical education, specialized healthcare, and clinical training.
Neuro Bansbari Hospital, also known as the Upendra Devkota Memorial National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences, is a specialized neurological hospital located in Bansbari, Kathmandu. Established in 2006 by the late Professor Dr. Upendra Devkota, the hospital focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological and neurosurgical conditions.
Coordination with Bir Hospital, a major government hospital, is currently underway.
We have also begun reaching out to hospitals across Nepal by sending letters to establish coordination for GBS and CIDP awareness programs and to facilitate the collection of data on GBS patients.
We personally reach out to patients, listen to their emotional challenges, and reassure them they are not alone — while explaining the foundation and its mission.

Patients are invited into WhatsApp and Facebook community groups to connect and support one another.
Patient information is collected and organized to prepare for structured group sessions.
Once organized, patients join virtual sessions led by medical experts — doctors, consultants, healthcare workers, and physiotherapists — where GBS patients and caregivers can share their feelings, challenges, and stories.
In partnership with UNESCO, the foundation is launching the Neuro AI Research Fellowship to train doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers in the practical use of AI in healthcare and research.
Through this fellowship, we are working to increase awareness of GBS and CIDP among healthcare professionals across Nepal.
Whether through volunteering, donations, or spreading awareness — every contribution helps build a stronger foundation for patients and families across Nepal.
