Ramesh Gupta Memorial Trust in Collaboration with Mahalaxmi Development Bank Donates ICU Beds to Strengthen Pediatric Cancer Care
Donated electric ICU beds to Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, enhancing the hospital’s pediatric oncology services and increasing its ICU capacity to 15 beds.
Ramesh Gupta Memorial Trust (RGMT), a CSR initiative of Ramesh Corp., in partnership with Mahalaxmi Development Bank, has donated electric ICU beds to Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital, enhancing the hospital’s pediatric oncology services and increasing its ICU capacity to 15 beds. The support aims to make critical care more accessible for children undergoing cancer treatment in Nepal.
The initiative is part of a broader national effort to strengthen childhood cancer care systems. Working alongside its global partner, World Child Cancer (WCC), the Trust is equipping and supporting shared care centers across all seven provinces. These centers play a crucial role in decentralizing treatment, enabling children with cancer to receive safe, timely, and coordinated treatment access closer to home and reducing the financial and emotional stress associated with frequent travel to Kathmandu.
The Trust’s commitment goes far beyond medical equipment. Through a 360-degree approach, it continues to invest in training healthcare professionals, raising public awareness, improving diagnostic and treatment capabilities, and providing financial, emotional, and psychological support to families navigating childhood cancer. Each aspect of this approach is designed to ensure timely diagnosis, consistent treatment, and compassionate support throughout the child’s care journey.
According to the Trust, improving outcomes for children with cancer in Nepal requires collaboration, investment, and long-term vision. Its ongoing work reflects a dedication to building a system where every child, regardless of where they live, can access high-quality cancer care and have a fair chance to survive and thrive.
The donation to Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital stands as another step toward that vision, reinforcing the belief that collective action can create meaningful impact for Nepal’s youngest and most vulnerable patients.
