Treatment in Nepal for Canada citizenship

Traditional medicine

Local medicine is paid, but relatively poorly developed. Hospitals, which are often overcrowded, exist only in large cities. The most qualified care is provided by clinics that work with the support of Western medical companies. The choice of medicines in pharmacies is quite large, but there is a known shortage of medicines in the interior.

Medical tourism in Nepal is not developed as a national industry, and there is no public policy to promote medical tourism in Nepal, but nevertheless medical tourism in the field of ophthalmic care can be mentioned as a great example for other branches of Medicine.

Today, Nepal attracts many patients from neighboring states of India for high-quality vision testing and eye surgery. The main factors that led to the growing popularity of such services for Indian patients were the availability of medical services, shorter waiting times for treatment, as well as easier travel to Nepal and good standards of treatment.

However, Nepal has prospects for the development of medical tourism in other areas of medicine, such as heart surgery, Ayurveda, etc. Because of this, a trip to Nepal for the purpose of childbirth is not a popular destination.

Alternative medicine

But Tibetan medicine in Nepal is very popular all over the world, including developed Western countries, due to the fact that it can be used to treat physical and mental disorders that are considered difficult to treat or those that are not treated at all by traditional medicine. In addition, Tibetan medicine uses very "gentle" methods, reducing surgical intervention to a minimum.

After the conquest of Tibet by China during the Cultural Revolution, most lamas, including doctors, left Tibet and moved to India and Nepal, where there are now significant Tibetan communities and monasteries, where Tibetan medicine was continued and further developed.

The capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, is the center of the main centers of Alternative Medicine in Tibet.

Tibetan medicine is practiced in close connection with the ancient Indian medical traditions - Ayurveda. In particular, for general wellness, along with traditional Tibetan massage, Ayurvedic massage is also indicated. In addition to these two traditional massages, Kathmandu's spa centers offer many other treatments, including therapeutic (hialing, "hot stone", etc.) and cosmetology (skin rejuvenation, etc.). Only natural ingredients (medicinal herbs and aromatic oils) and methods that have been tested for thousands of years are used.
