Dhulikhel Hospital is an independent, not for profit, non-government institution which was conceived and supported by the Dhulikhel community, as a quality health services provider. The hospital was inaugurated by the late king Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev in 1996, as a collaborative project of the Municipality of Dhulikhel, NepaliMed Vorarlberg, Austria and Dhulikhel Health Service Association.

Dhulikhel Hospital is guided by the principles of social equity, sustainable development and harmony with nature. Through its trained staff, it provides cost effective, compassionate and quality health care services. The hospital believes in the fact that quality health services need not always be an expensive commodity limited only to those who are rich enough to afford.

The hospital covers the population of approximately 1.9 million people from Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Sindhuli, Ramechhap, Bhaktapur and other surrounding districts. Nevertheless, Dhulikhel Hospital has already provided services to people from more than 50 out of 75 districts of the country.

Dhulikhel hospital is also the university teaching hospital for all the medical programs run under the collaboration with Kathmandu Univerisity (constituent medical programs of Kathmandu University).
