Remarkable Progress Journey

"Empowering Lives, Transforming Futures: Unveiling the Extraordinary Impact of Cutting-Edge Cancer Care - From Survival Rates to Patient Satisfaction."

Dr. Gyanendra Man Singh Karki

Michael J. Fox's observation is that Medical science has repeatedly demonstrated that when the necessary funding is made available, significant advancements can be made in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Oncology is one of these developing fields of medicine because of the exponential growth in cancer cases. Many cancers are more easily curable thanks to advanced therapeutic techniques and potent therapies. In resource-limited nations like Nepal, progress in the prevention, treatment, and cure of diseases like cancer is slow, despite the advancements in health and technology. Despite all of our flaws, whether they be political, social, or economic, we at Birat Medical College have always worked to improve the quality of our care, our commitment to the needs of others, and our loyalty to our nation. In order to achieve our obligations to our society in the fight against cancer, the Birat Cancer Institute, created in honour of Rewatna-Rukamani Karki, has been equipped with premium modalities and technologies of the highest grade.

We are confident that our efforts to treat cancer and stop it at its source will lead to a better and healthier future.

Common questions

See a doctor promptly if you notice a new lump, a sore or ulcer that does not heal, unexplained weight loss, persistent cough or hoarseness, abnormal bleeding, or a change in bowel or bladder habits. These symptoms often have other causes, but early checks matter because cancer found early is usually easier to treat. If you already have a biopsy or scan report suggesting cancer, you can book directly with the Birat Cancer Institute.
