Leadership Vision And Mission
Mahabir Pun, founder of the National Innovation Center and Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, highlighted the core purpose of the program.
He stated that restoring non-functional healthcare equipment is directly connected to saving human lives across the country.
The initiative focuses on practical local engineering solutions to bridge the gap between resource constraints and healthcare demands in Nepal.
Cost Savings And Public Health Support
Public health institutions in Nepal frequently face budget limitations and administrative delays when replacing broken machinery.
By repairing existing devices instead of purchasing new ones, Sushil Koirala Cancer Hospital has saved significant financial resources.
The National Innovation Center has been providing medical equipment repair services to hospitals across Nepal since the COVID-19 pandemic, helping public facilities optimize operational costs and maintain continuous patient care.
