Introduction
Nepal Eye Hospital is the first Eye hospital in Nepal. It was established back in 1973 A.D in the city of Kathmandu. The hospital has been providing Comprehensive Eye Exam to People for a very long time. It is one of the best eye hospital located in Tripureshwor, Kathmandu, Nepal. It is located near the Dasharath Stadium.
Seeing the need to separate the eye care facility, Nepal eye hospital was later, legally established in Kathmandu city, working separately as an autonomous body. With the active initiation of Dr Ram Prasad Pokhrel, an icon Ophthalmologist of Nepal and other prominent personalities, Nepal Eye Hospital was later shifted to another place.
Dr Ram Prasad Pokhrel is a very distinguished personality in Nepal in the field of Eye Care Services. He is known for his smart and active initiation to start and diversify eye care services in Nepal. He was also one of the founding members of Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh. For his work in ophthalmology and eye care services in Nepal, he is given the title of “Aakha Baa” which roughly translates to “Father of Eye”.
Since the establishment of this hospital in Kathmandu valley, the Ministry of health and population has been continuously providing financial support to the hospital Ophthalmologists and staff who were also shifted from Bir hospital to NEH. One eye department running in Bir hospital was later set to run on its own with a different name of “Nepal Eye Hospital”. Nepal eye hospital was established way before the IAPB was established. Thus, Nepal already started its tasks for the prevention and cure of blindness.
