Nabil Bank’s Free Burn Treatment Camp: 65 Nepalese Patients Receive Life-Changing Care in Dhangadhi
28th February 2026, Kathmandu
In a major boost to healthcare accessibility in Sudurpashchim Province, the three-day Nabil Free Burn Treatment Camp successfully concluded at Seti Provincial Hospital.
Nabil Bank’s Free Burn Treatment Camp
The initiative, held from February 24 to 26, 2026, provided essential medical services and surgeries to 65 Nepalese citizens suffering from severe burn injuries.
Restoring Health and Hope: A Collaborative Medical Initiative
Burn injuries remain the third most common cause of injury in Nepal, often leaving victims with lifelong disabilities if not treated promptly. Recognizing this gap, Nabil Bank, under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) wing, partnered with the specialized Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital and Seti Provincial Hospital to provide high-quality care to those who need it most.
Key Statistics from the Camp:
Total Beneficiaries: 65 Nepalese patients (35 males, 30 females).
On-site Surgeries: 20 patients underwent successful specialized surgeries in Dhangadhi.
Complex Referrals: 18 patients with critical conditions were referred to Kathmandu for advanced intensive care.
Success Stories: Changing Lives in Sudurpashchim
For many residents of remote districts, specialized burn care is financially out of reach. One beneficiary, Durga Pandey, shared how the camp saved her five-year-old daughter. After suffering a severe oil burn two years ago, the child finally received the neck surgery she needed to restore mobility.
Similarly, 42-year-old Bharat Luhar, a victim of fire burns on both hands, was rescued from a worsening infection and is now receiving specialized follow-up care in Kathmandu.

Expert-Led Care and Capacity Building
The camp was led by Prof. Dr. Ishwar Lohani, a renowned specialist from Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital. Beyond immediate treatment, the initiative focused on long-term sustainability through training.
Dr. Raju Bhandari, Deputy Medical Director, conducted a Basic Burn Care Training session for 50 local healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses at Seti Provincial Hospital. This ensures that the local medical community is better equipped to handle initial burn trauma and post-operative follow-ups.
Nabil Bank’s Commitment to Social Transformation
Manoj Kumar Gyawali, CEO of Nabil Bank, emphasized that this camp is just the beginning.
“Our goal is to reach the most underserved regions of Nepal. By targeting Sudurpashchim in this first phase, we’ve provided a lifeline to those who otherwise lack access to specialized burn care. We plan to expand these camps to other provinces soon.”
Nabil Bank continues to lead the private sector in Nepal through initiatives like Nabil SSE (Social School of Entrepreneurship) and sustainable banking practices aimed at long-term community development.
Conclusion
The “Nabil Free Burn Treatment Camp” stands as a testament to the power of public-private partnerships in solving critical healthcare challenges.
By combining financial support with medical expertise, the initiative has not only treated 65 individuals but also raised vital awareness about the prevention and proper treatment of burn injuries in Nepal.
