About

Internal medicine is the care of the whole adult patient, and that is how I practise.

I trained in internal medicine at Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center in Manila and returned to Nepal to practise in leading hospitals in Kathmandu and the Terai. My work covers the diagnosis and ongoing management of adult medical illness, including heart, digestive and metabolic conditions.

My residency research looked at blood-thinner therapy in patients at high risk of clots, and at the link between cholesterol ratios and acute coronary syndrome.
