For 60-years, Scheer Memorial Adventist Hospital (SMAH) has provided uninterrupted medical care to Kavrepalanchwok District and beyond.  As one of the first hospitals East of Kathmandu, Nepal, the institution has built a legacy for innovation and a passion for providing compassionate, patient centered care.  SMAH performed the first laparoscopic surgery in Nepal.  We also established the first palliative care service in the country.  For decades, we have provided free or significantly discounted services to poor and disadvantaged patients regardless of their ability to pay.

Since those modest early years, and with the continued volunteer and financial assistance of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Scheer Memorial Hospital has evolved into a three-story, 150 bed facility that provides a full range of outpatient and inpatient services. We specialize in orthopedics, obstetrics, gynecology, and Pediatrics. Also provided are: medical, general surgery, dental, ophthalmology, urology, ICU, 24-hour emergency room, and ambulance, as well as physiotherapy services. Diagnostics available include x-ray, ultrasound, lab, ECG, and endoscopy. Weekly out-reach clinics add to the scope of rural community health care that Scheer provides.

Professional medical teams from America, Netherlands, Australia and Japan run annual, free health camps at Scheer providing surgical repairs for burn victims, uterine prolapse and cleft lip/palate patients.
