UMN and Medical Mission

United Mission to Nepal (UMN) is a co-operative effort between the people of Nepal and a large number of Christian organisations from several developed countries in four different continents. Established in 1954, it seeks to serve the people of Nepal in the Name and Spirit of Christ.

UMN used to run 4 mission hospitals namely Patan, Tansen, Amppipal and Okhaldhunga giving financial and sending expatriate missionary doctors. This has stopped in hospitals like Amppipal and the other hospitals are going through difficult time as UMN wants to hand over but governmen would like to dictate how it is done. The political situation of Nepal is also unstable.

Hence there is a need of an organization which can address the health need of Nepal.
