Bhagawan Koirala’a big dream of building children’s hospitals in all provinces of Nepal

Even after spending nearly three decades in Nepal’s medical practice and earning a name and fame almost unparalleled among his contemporaries, Nepal’s renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Bhagawan Koirala is restless these days. He says he is embarking on a new journey in his career, and he is not sure how it will move ahead.

He aims to open a multi-speciality children’s hospital in Kathmandu with seven satellite centres, one in each of the seven provinces. This dream was seeded three decades ago when he was studying pediatric heart disease in the USA.
