Grande International Hospital
Grande International Hospital is a state of the art facility located in Gongabu, Kathmandu. NTR volunteers have been warmly welcomed at Grande and have supported many nurses in their continuing education.

We will continue our partnership with Grande International Hospital and work to strengthen the Intensive Care Department.
