Vayodha Hospital has emerged as a medical center of excellence in Nepal within a short period of time despite various challenges and always getting through the help of cutting edge technological advancements, operational innovations, pioneering medical rescue operations and several other medical services for Nepalese and international patients. It is also serving as a referral center with all sorts of medical facilities, technologies and life rescuing services under a single roof, that of, Vayodha Hospital Pvt. Ltd. Within half a decade of its conception, Vayodha has risen and stood tall amongst the pioneers of quality medical service providers in Nepal. With regards to the value of minutes to seconds and uncompromised round-the-clock state-of-the-art care required in the management of critically ill patients, Vayodha has perceived the need and is determined to fulfill the void for such a set par excellence, in the form of its newly conceived ICCU and E-ICU – a current trend in critical care practice in the developed nations. Vayodha proudly announces the opening of Blood Bank & 1st EICU of Nepal in association of Critinext, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi, India. Critinext, an E-ICU model is Nepal’s first teleicu which provides “Intensive Care beyond Boundaries”. This is a fusion of critical care skills, technology, and innovation to enable remote team of specialist doctors to manage critically ill patients at site instead of transferring them to out of Nepal.

Moreover, separate equipment, instruments and utensils are used for each patient to avoid cross-infection.
