Meet the Heart Behind the Healing
At the core of Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital (SKMH) is a team of passionate, skilled, and deeply committed professionals who bring hope and healing to thousands across Nepal. From surgeons and anesthesiologists to nurses, technicians, and administrators, each member of the SKM team plays a vital role in delivering world-class care—especially in the fields of burn treatment and reconstructive surgery.
Led by Medical Director Dr. Santosh Bhandari and supported by a diverse group of national and international experts, the team embodies the hospital’s mission of compassion, excellence, and service. Many of our staff have been with SKMH for decades, helping shape it into a center of excellence that reaches far beyond Kathmandu through outreach camps and training programs.
Together, they are more than a medical team—they are a family united by purpose, transforming lives one patient at a time.
