As someone who has experienced the challenges of navigating Nepal's public and other private hospitals, I cannot recommend the CIWEC Hospital and Travel Medicine facility more highly. One of the most striking aspects of CIWEC Hospital is the competence and expertise of their medical staff. The doctors and nurses are not only experienced and well qualified but also speak excellent English. For me, this is essential for foreigners, as communication can often be a barrier in unfamiliar healthcare systems. The medical professionals at CIWEC are able to understand their traveling patient's concerns and provide clear explanations and treatment options.. The reception staff at CIWEC also deserve special mention. They are not only fluent in English but also incredibly organized, helpful, and friendly. Their efficiency and professionalism makes the entire process much smoother and less stressful. In terms of facilities, CIWEC Hospital is equipped with modern and reliable diagnostic and treatment equipment. This is a significant advantage, especially considering the concerns about cleanliness and equipment in some other hospitals in Nepal. The hospital's commitment to maintaining high standards is evident, and it instills a sense of trust and confidence in the quality of care provided. While it's true that CIWEC Hospital may be more expensive than general Nepali hospitals, the peace of mind it offers is well worth the cost. Traveling to a foreign country can be daunting, and knowing that there is a reliable healthcare facility available can be a tremendous relief. Additionally, it's important to note that many travel insurance policies cover treatment at CIWEC, further alleviating any financial concerns.

After traveling from the US to Nepal I drank some bad water in the Delhi airport. I had a fever for several days and other symptoms began. I checked into CIWEC hospital and had a fantastic experience. As someone who had never been in a hospital in their life and is also terrified of needles the staff were so kind, and so patient the entire time. They never made me feel silly and always met me with kindness. The entire staff across different “departments” (X-ray, blood work, urine samples, abdominal ultrasound etc) worked as a team to diagnose and solve the problem. The communication channels between all of these medical professionals was easier to access than what I’ve witnessed with family members back home in the US. On a logistical standpoint, I do not speak Nepalese so I was incredibly grateful that every person there spoke great English. There was never a doubt of what was happening due to a language barrier. I hope that no one finds themselves in a similar situation. However, if you do, CIWEC made me feel so comfortable and safe during my 2 overnights there. Highly recommend their amazing staff and services.

One of my friend from Iran got sick at midnight so she went there after I recommend her to go there. When she reached , she had a problem in communication because she could not speak English, so she called me at midnight and I have to go there to visit her at 2:00am. When I reached there and when I asked the guy in the reception about her. He was so rude he didn't respond me properly because they have forcefully addmited her in the hospital to charge lot of money from her insurance company. When I ask about it the guy told who am I and why should I respond you he was really rude. This hospital is scam be awere of them . The main aim of them is to earn money anyhow. Everytime they will force you to get admitted in the hospital, if you are ok also. Most of the tourist goes here for check up , please there are so many hospital which are 200% cheaper and better than this hospital with good doctors.please visit those hospital than this. Please visit other hospitals like Norvic International Hospital and Grande International Hospital they also look for the insurance.

FIRST WORLD HOSPITAL CARE IN KATHMANDU I recently returned home to Australia after being hospitalised in Ciwec Hospital Kathmandu (Ciwec) for three weeks following a trekking mishap. Within five hours of presenting myself at Ciwec I had emergency surgery for a perforated bowel. The surgery was a complete success although I contacted a staph infection which prolonged my Ciwec stay. The medical treatment and care I received was first world standard and as good as I would expect in any hospital in Brisbane Australia. My surgeon Dr (Prof) Mahesh Khakurel was magnificent and the Doctors and Nurses at Ciwec were so very professional, committed and caring. There was not one day where I did not receive at least one visit and health check from a Doctor. A Nurse was essentially on call 24 hours per day. Additionally, Dr (Prof) Khakurel visited and checked on me an estimated 13 times whilst in Ciwec. Ciwec worked closely with my Travel Insurance company NIB Travel Insurance Australia who were also First Class. I highly recommend Ciwec.

I, from time to time, have been using CIWEC CLINIC/HOSPITAL, for a very, very long time! I'm a former expat, current citizen of Nepal. CIWEC Is best known for its travel services, but it is also a wonderful small Hospital with an experienced staff of General Practitioners, many of who have additional training in Emergency Services. I have recently had the occasion to use the inpatient facilities of the Hospital and its medical staff. I returned from touring in Europe with a badly infected leg. The GP quickly recognized the problem, did a full blood exam in their own on sight lab, identified the bacteria and determined which antibiotic was the best, treated the wound, which had become very large, and checked me in. I have been in several hospitals, in my life, but I have never found one with the excellence of the skills, as well as the attitude of the RNs and other staff members! I will not be going to any other medical facility, in Nepal again. CIWEC is the very best in my opinion. Thank you all for your wonderful care!

I had a totally unexpected arrhythmia the night before a big remote trek, I had to bite the bullet and seek an ECG when it didn't stop. I arrived at CIWEC about 1:30 am, they had me hooked up and checked and also were very reassuring my given the emotional disruption I was coming to grips with. I couldn't have asked for better specialist, nursing and administrative care and competence, as well helping me handle the the barrage of insurance admin and trekking team communications. Although I made a quick recovery they were suitably cautious about ongoing monitoring for 24h and reminded me that my health was more important and the mountains weren't going away. I was shattered but the reminders helped. So if you happen to get sick and worry what might happen the CIWEC staff are as good or better than you will find anywhere. Better than a multi storey hospital with risk of potentially infectious disease. My respect and best wishes, flowers arriving soon! Dr Matt from Australia.

For the sick Traveller this hospital is treatment heaven. I spent 2 days on a rehydration drip following prior days of diarrhea and vomiting. I hadn't eaten because of nausea and was weak, tired and a little confused. During the stay I had regular obs, blood tests, stool diagnosis and medicines. The nurses were friendly, keen and helpful. The principal doctor completely understood at which stage I was at with my illness and was helpful with personal decisions about flights as my visa was about to run out. The Admin were so helpful even staying late to get our account forms filled out.The cost was unbelievably low. We talked to Western Doctors and they estimated it was 1/10th of what it might have been in Europe or America. If only I could have given Ciwec 6 stars then I would have done,

This place is great for foreigners seeking medical treatment while in Nepal. I am American and was helicopter evacuated off the EBC trek due to passing out on the trail and some stomach issues. After visiting the Lukla hospital which did not inspire trust in my wellbeing and health, I was so grateful to receive care at this hospital upon arriving back to Kathmandu. The doctors and nurses at this place are top notch in kindness and professionalism, speak great English, and helped take care of me and ensure I had a full recovery from my trekking healthcare woes. This was by far the cleanest building I have been in and Nepal and perhaps the most modern- and the care I received was top notch. Thank you to Dr. Samrat and the team at CIWEC for helping me recover and regain my health.

Fantastic experience. I had a tick from visiting southern Nepal that I couldn't easily reach, and also a fever, so I went to this clinic. From the moment I walked in they completely put me at ease, with flawless English, basic paperwork to fill out, a clean waiting room, and no wait. The doctor and nurse were wonderful, and I received excellent care the same as I would expect in my hometown in the US. When I went, it was a $90 USD base fee (if you have travel insurance, in most cases it will cover this). Doctor put me on the meds I needed and gave them to me there- I didn't have to go to a pharmacy, thank goodness. Would recommend to all travelers. Please don't try to tough it out if you really aren't feeling well, as I considered doing- just go.

Amazing experience!! I went there by morning, had to fill some paperwork, and after 15/20 minutes I was already being seen first by a nurse, than by a doctor. They said I had to do an ultrasound, and they booked it for the afternoon of the same day. They also told me that they would need blood and urine samples. After all the testing, the results were given to me 30 minutes later (very fast) and then the same doctor that saw me in the morning explained to me what was happening, and what I needed to do. They also gave me all the medication I needed, so I didn’t have to search for it. Conclusion: very nice, kind and professional staff (doctors, nurses, people from the reception) and very fast and careful assistance. I recommend it

I stayed in Ciwec Hospital for one night and I have to admit the place itself is super clean, efficient and professional. Formost I want to thank the staff! The doctors and nurses have made my stay wonderful and so homey. They have so much care and empathy I have not seen in many medical institutions. I also had problems with my insurance and the hospital assisted phenomenally. Hence, with any medical issue in Kathmandu or surroundings I highly recommend Ciwec hospital - you´ll be taken care of greatly! Thank you so much Ciwec team!!! ps. and the food is yummy!

I was brought down from altitude with mountain sickness. Treatment I received was prompt, courteous & appropriate. I was discharged to my hotel. When I got there I realised what I thought was a minor leg injury was more significant. I returned to the hospital & was again seen promptly. A torn Achilles tendon was diagnosed. I was seen by an orthopaedic surgeon and placed in a back slab for my flight to UK. Again Treatment was speedy and appropriate. I was emailed my clinical summaries that evening. Concise and informative All staff were caring and professional.

The whole staff (nurses, doctors, admin) at Ciwec were incredibly kind and supportive during my stay at the hospital. I was admitted after midnight with unusual symptoms, yet they took great care and time to ensure they found the diagnosis and helped address the issues. I felt very lucky to have such expertise and dedicated people at my side to work through recovery and would recommend the location to any other travelers facing health scares while in Kathmandu. They will help the experience be smooth and work through various insurance hiccups as well!

Hi, It definitely can get very stressful when an individual is up in the mountains and get into some bad injury and then get evacuated into a hospital and being treated in a foreign country. I was in CIWEK Katmandu for about 6 days and I felt very well cared for from the time I was picked up from airport until I was dropped back to the airport. The doctors and nurses are very professional and the doctors kept me informed on every step of the treatment. everything was well documented as well. also the atmosphere is very clean and pleasant. Thank you guys.

Professioneel klein ziekenhuis naar westerse standaard. 5 dagen gelegen na helikopter evacuatie uit trekking naar everest bc (nierstenen). Vriendelijk Engels sprekend personeel. CIWEC kan (nog) niet alles zelf uitvoeren. CT-scan en de operatie moesten in andere ziekenhuizen uitgevoerd. Wel onder verantwoordelijkheid van CIWEC. Vervoer per ambulance met verpleegster van CIWEC. De bezochte Nepalese ziekenhuizen zijn druk, rommelig en vies. Je bent blij dat je na de behandeling direct weer terug wordt gebracht naar de rust en hygiëne van CIWEC.

Just another foreigner here to say I got great care here. The doctor was so kind and thorough. The nurses were so sweet as well. I don't speak Nepali, but I was able to communicate perfectly with everyone I interacted with in English. If you're shopping around for a hospital in Kathmandu, this is the place. I almost went to another hospital that was recommended to me, until I read a New York Times article about how they're running a scam (Swacon). If you decide to get care elsewhere, just make sure you do some digging first.

Ciwec Hospital is unreal hospital ! All doctor and nurse so very very kinds, they take care me all time. The emergency helicopter brought me in on oxygen (30% oxygen), unable to walk on my own. In just 3 days at Ciwec Hospital, they restored me to the point where I could jump Skydiving! Awesome ! Better Medicare, Better Food healthy ! Recovery time at Ciwec Hospital is so great! Thank you Ciwec Hospital. - a clip Ciwec for Halloween

My experience at this hospital could not have been better. I was able to book an appt to be seen less than an hr later and everyone from the receptionist Shahida to the GP Dr. Rashila Pradhan and then the Ortho surgeon Dr Deepak Mahara and the physiotherapist Dr Prayoush Newpane were kind, supremely competent, knowledgeable and just wonderful. I felt safe and well taken care of. Now just hoping my insurance will reimburse me.

CIWEC Clinic Travel Medicine Center is one of the most reputable destination travel medicine clinics in the world. The clinic was established in 1982 to meet the need for a western standard clinic to treat foreign diplomats and aid workers in Nepal. During its 30 year journey, it has expanded its services from a small clinic set up in 1982, to a full service clinic cum hospital providing both outpatient and inpatient care.

Fantastic hospital. It can be very stressful to have to go to the hospital when you are on a trip abroad but this place was incredible. They took care of us the minute we came in. Staff is very competant, very kind and caring. They took care of everything including contacting our insurance to setup direct payment from the insurance to the hospital. They made this experience so much easier and reassuring for us. Thank you.

I wrecked my knee on a severe fall on ice during the decent off Throng La Pass. My knee was swollen and in pain and the trek over. In Pokhara, Dr Sandeep and team were terrific. They evaluated my knee, fitted me with a brace and prescribed the RICE treatment. I appreciated their timely medical write-up that was acceptable by my travel insurance interruption claim. Thanks CIWEC team for your efficient & professional care!

I spent three nights in CIWEC with pneumomia and was incredibly well cared for. All the staff are professional and caring. I was kept informed of all procedures and the details of my progress. Everything is spotlessly clean. I felt completely safe and in good hands and considerably in just a few hours of admittance. I'm a regular visitor to Nepal and if i ever need medical attention again, I'll only consider CIWEC.

I spent 12 days here recovering from extensive pneumonia and influenza after cutting short my two-week mountain trek, and feel very fortunate to have found such a good facility and staff. Everything was professional from beginning to end, and I had confidence throughout that I was getting the care I needed. The staff were really caring, attentive, compassionate, and communicative; I really couldn’t ask for more!

Got admitted here on emergency, the doctors and the nurses were super cooperative and attentive to details. They didn't compromise on any issue and didn't let us feel like we are in a different country with our family far away even for a second. Great facilities. They even dropped us at our hotel for our comfort. Really thankful to Dr. Sandeep and his team for all the support.

Super super expensive. No operation theater. Operation done at Chirayu hospital and Chirayu (which is very bad hospital) charged $6000 for operation referred through CIWEC. Despite bad things, the NURSING CARE is EXCELLENT. Each of the nurse was very good, friendly and always try best to give relief to the patient. Surgeon was also through professional.

I had to spend a few nights at this clinic, and have been treaten very friendly and professionell. I felt in very good hands. They have been dealing with my insurance company back home, and i had not to worry about anything, everything got sorted and i was able to leave after a few days feeling so much better. Thanks CIWEC ! :)

I got my hip surgery at CIWEC after an accident and I am very happy that I chose this hospital. I was given proper information and choices for my treatment and the surgical team explained everything to my son in detail. I have fully recovered and my walk is better than before. Thank you Ciwec for always taking care of me.

Great care. Nurses are good. Doctors are professional and their communication skills are great. I took my son for an emergency checkup about 1 month ago and the pediatrician was amazing. I do have to admit that their service is good, timely, focused but the price is significantly more expensive than local hospitals.

Such an excellent treatment, compared with my home country (Switzerland!); i got an appointment at less than an hours notice, no problem for MRI and X-ray within a few hours, very reassuring and calm staff, especially the English receptionist who checked everything was ok as she headed home at the end of her shift.

Very efficient, all thé peuple I met are very kind ( secretary Nurse Doctor). I had not to sait . Thanks a lot Je suis allé dans cet hôpital pour une luxation du coude toutes les personnes rencontrées ont été très agréables et très professionnelles. Aucune attente et une grande efficacité. Merci à tous Michel

I would like to thank the entire Ciwec hospital team and doctors Rashila Pradham and Samrat Bashyal who took care of me with thoughtfulness and professionalism. I was well cared for and well reassured. I was able to benefit from an accompanied return and I am now at home recovering. Thanks again everyone.

Fui al hospital a través de mi seguro de viaje por un esguince de tobillo. Me atendieron muy bien y rapido; el personal, las enfermeras y el doctor fueron muy cálidos y claros con las indicaciones. (Cuidado con los taxis que llevan y traen allí, cobran precios elevados si no se arregla de antemano)

Wow blown away from the service!! clean and easy I came by late in the evening to see a docter and the reception let me see her right away, with thorough examination and also an MRI test minutes apart!! the service was warm, kind and extremely profesional all in all a perfect experience 10/10

Went in because of a persistent food poisoning. I've never gotten this good service even in my home country. Anyone who needs medical help, don't hesitate to go here. I just walked in without a reservation and was out in under 2h with a prescription and a peace of mind.

Better than most hospitals in the valley. Very fast, courteous and professional service. Hospital is clean and sanitary (unlike most hospitals in the city). Would highly recommend for anybody from western countries who find other Hospitals chaotic and unorganized.

I was admitted to the hospital as part of a rescue from Everest Camp 1. All the steps by the medical team were smooth and professional, always with a smile, and proper explanation when asked. It feels great to be supported at that level when away from home.

Exceptional care! I have been here twice over the past couple of years for minor infections and was always met with such a kind and caring and very knowledgeable staff. Very clean and comfortable rooms as well. I appreciate the team’s hard work!

Few of my foreign friends referred it as Clinics for 'Very Rich Foreigners'. Despite of flawless nursing care, fact is that the same level of personalized service is available in other hospitals and clinics in Nepal on about 80% cheaper price.

Amazing hospital. Probably one of the best in Kathmandu if you need to see a doctor. They are fast and extremely good. Had blood taken and did not feel a thing! Had tests done and had seen a doctor, rest results came back within 20 minutes!

I was taken to this hospital after a emergency medical evacuation from Gokyo, suffering from possible altitude sickness and a stomach bug. I was told this was one of the best hospitals in Kathmandu if not Nepal, I was disappointed. I was …

Super Krankenhaus. Der Arzt hat sich Zeit für mich genommen für eine genaue Anamnese. Ich hatte Fieber und Schüttelfrost, Bauchweh und Magendarm. Mir wurde Blut genommen, eine Speichelprobe gemacht, Urin und Stuhl entnommen um wirklich …

100 out of 10 stars! Every doctor, nurse, admin member, insurance staff and housekeeper gave my wife exceptional care. We are from the USA and this is by far the best place to go for any needs in Kathmandu. Thank you CIWEC!!!!

This was by far the best hospital I’ve been to abroad. The nurses and doctors are very well trained and spoke great English. It seemed like they really cared about their patients and made sure to go the extra mile to help

The standards here are very high. I didn't have to wait long to be treated. The staff is very nice and considerate. I felt very comfortable here and can recommend this hospital to any other vacationer like me. Thank you

I JUST NEED ONE PAINKILLER AT 1200 MIDNIGHT AT POKHARA DUE TO WHOLE DAY TREAKING JUST MUSCULAR PAIN ON LEG , BUT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE EVEN ONE PAINKILLER .AT MIDNIGHT WHERE TO GO,EVEN I'M STAYING NEXT TO CIWEC HOSPITAL.

Came in for an emergency treatment of vertigo. The entire staff was knowledgeable, professional, and kind. The facility was modern and very clean. Thank you, ciwec staff, for taking such good care of us! …

I felt very well looked after here. They were very quick and efficient and everything is very clean and professional. It's definitely on the more expensive side but worth it in my opinion.

Went on the way back from EBC with a bad stomach bug. Service was excellent, professional and efficient. And the medication was so inexpensive! I saw Dr. Amatya and highly recommend her.

They extracted me a tooth. Dentist Mr. Sharma was probably the best I ever met. He explained every step of the extraction and did it gently with accurate dose of anestetics.

Was admitted for 5 days with pneumonia. Great medical service and all staff were very friendly and professional. Good communication all the time. Better than a hotel …

Excellent & professional treatment by competent & commited staff, in particular by Dr. Shanta Manandhar, well-kept facilities - strongly recommended in case you need it.

Efficient service, communicative and knowledgeable staff. My friend came in with chest pain and the cardiologist came in from.home and saw him right away. Impressive.

Amazing clinic. The personal is very professional, kind and attentive to the patient's needs. I arrived and I didn't have to wait, I was immediately taken care of …

The physio (led by Dr Manoj) is accurate, patient, and it addresses the issue - all with a good atmosphere and flexible hours. Did 10 session, also learned a lot.

ちゃんと保険会社通してこないと治療台すごいです。 日本語しか話せない場合翻訳通して会話することになると思います。 治療内容は検査もちゃんとしてくれます深夜もバイタルチェックの回診が2回ほどありました。 私はお腹壊してたので有料のオーダー出来ませんでした。無料で来るのはThe病院食です。 出来たら有料の注文した方がいいです。

Stayed here for 3 nights. Nurses were the most patient and caring of any hospital ive been to. The doctors and surgeons were very professional and world class. …

I am very satisfied by the service provided to my friends who recently visited for pre travel advice to Everest and their trip went very well.thank you.

I broke my foot on the Everest Base Camp Trail, so they flew me here and fixed me right up. Highly recommended, except for the broken foot.

PCR test will cost You 5880 nrs, everywhere else in Kathmandu the price is 2260 nrs, this place is too expensive, a trap for tourist.

Wonderful staff, friendly and attentive, always with a smile. Could not fault the service received when fell ill in Nepal.

Great, professional hospital. Experienced staff, excellent food, fast and good treatments. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Excellent service, I dropped by for a blood test, results provided within 15 mins and at a reasonable price. Many thanks

awesome clinic for travelers I was there with my relative for vaccination . Premium service and nice doctor and staff .

Bonne prise en charge, personnel adorable et efficace,... Tout est fait pour que vous vous y sentiez bien !

I am admitted to the hospital due to Covid. The facility is very clean. Friendly staff, good hospital food.

Excellent, thorough examination and treatment. Highly recommend for medical assistance in Kathmandu.

Dr Safala needs to go back to medical school. What a waste of time. Not going back here ever.

Fantastic, fast and professional service, if you are an expatriate this it the place to go

Very professional and kind stuff! Modern, clean, and stuff and doctors take great care!
