Citizens Bank Donates R.O. System to Seti Provincial Hospital Dialysis Unit
22nd September 2026, Kathmandu
Citizens Bank International supports Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi with a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system under CSR, benefiting dialysis patients in Sudurpashchim Province.
Citizens Bank Donates R.O. System
Citizens Bank International Limited has donated a Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) water purification system to the dialysis unit of Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi-01, Kailali.
Provided under the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, this donation aims to enhance life-saving healthcare infrastructure for kidney patients across Sudurpashchim Province.
Boosting Dialysis Services for Underprivileged Patients
Seti Provincial Hospital serves as a major healthcare hub in western Nepal. Its dialysis unit currently operates 21 dialysis machines across three shifts, treating approximately 242 regular patients.
Prior to the installation, bank representatives consulted directly with the hospital management to identify its most critical operational needs. A clean, reliable, and continuous supply of purified water is essential for safe hemodialysis treatment. By installing a dedicated R.O. system, the bank helped ensure a sustainable and safe treatment process for patients, particularly those from low-income and marginalized backgrounds.
“We are honored to contribute to the healthcare of kidney patients in Sudurpashchim Province,” said Ganesh Raj Pokharel, Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Bank International, during the handover ceremony held at the hospital. “We hope this assistance directly benefits underprivileged communities reliant on free or subsidized dialysis care.”
