For thousands of Nepali citizens who travel to major Indian metropolitan areas every year for advanced medical interventions, out-of-pocket hospital costs present a significant financial challenge. Corporate agreements between trusted national banks and recognized multi-specialty hubs like Indraprastha Apollo Hospital help make international standard clinical care more affordable.

This structural link ensures that patients can access highly trained specialists, advanced diagnostic machinery, and modern critical care protocols with lower overall financial friction, while reinforcing Nepal Bank’s focus on long-term employee and customer well-being.
