Frequently Asked Questions
Are you really open 24 hours, every day?
Yes — including public holidays, festivals and Saturdays. A doctor is physically on-site at all times, with on-call specialists for surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics.
Do you have an ambulance service?
Yes. Call +977 980-4163734 to dispatch an equipped ambulance with paramedic across Pokhara and surrounding districts.
How much does emergency care cost?
Initial registration and triage are charged at a fixed emergency rate. Investigations and treatment are billed transparently as used. We do not delay treatment for billing — life first, paperwork after.
Will you accept insurance for emergencies?
Yes. We work with most major Nepali insurance providers and process claims in-house. For cashless treatment, please bring your insurance card.
Should I call ahead before coming?
For genuine emergencies, just come — or call our ambulance. Calling ahead is helpful for non-critical visits so we can prepare, but is never required.

Why the First Hour Decides the Outcome
In an emergency, time is the single most important variable. Outcomes in heart attack, stroke, severe trauma and sepsis are largely determined within the first sixty minutes — the “golden hour”. This is why a genuine 24-hour emergency department is not simply a room that is open at night; it is doctors, nurses, imaging, theatre and intensive care all available the moment a patient arrives.
The most dangerous decision in an emergency is to wait and see. If symptoms are severe — central chest pain, sudden weakness or speech difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, breathing difficulty, a seizure, or a serious injury — the correct action is to come in or call the ambulance immediately.
How Triage Works — and Why It Is Not First-Come-First-Served
Emergency care is prioritised by severity, not arrival order. A trained nurse assesses every patient within minutes; the most time-critical are seen first. This can mean a less urgent patient waits while a critical one is treated — that is the system working correctly and safely.
What Families Should Know
Bring any medication list and known allergies if possible, but never delay arrival to gather paperwork — treatment of a genuine emergency begins before billing. We keep families informed and explain the plan, whether that is discharge, ward admission, ICU or surgery.
Ambulance, Costs and Insurance
An equipped ambulance with a paramedic can be dispatched across Pokhara and surrounding districts — call the emergency line immediately. Emergency registration is charged at a fixed rate and treatment is billed transparently as used; care is never delayed for payment. We work with most major insurers and process claims in-house.

Recognising a Real Emergency
Knowing what counts as an emergency saves lives, because the most dangerous response to a serious symptom is to wait and hope it passes. Central chest pain, sudden weakness or drooping of the face, difficulty speaking, severe breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, a first or prolonged seizure, sudden severe headache, major injury, or a child who is limp, blue or unresponsive — all of these mean act now, not later. Stroke and heart attack outcomes in particular are decided in the first hour.
It is always better to come and be reassured than to delay and lose the window in which treatment works best. Our triage system exists precisely so that genuine emergencies are seen immediately.
What to Do While Help Is Coming
Call our emergency line and our ambulance immediately for serious cases. Keep the patient still and calm; do not give food or water to someone who is drowsy, has chest pain or may need surgery; for heavy bleeding apply firm direct pressure; for a seizure, protect the head and do not put anything in the mouth. If you can, note the time symptoms started — for stroke and heart attack this single piece of information directly affects treatment decisions.
Practical Information for Families
Bring any regular medicines and a note of allergies if it does not delay arrival — never wait to gather paperwork in a true emergency. Registration is charged at a fixed emergency rate and all further treatment is billed transparently as used; care is never withheld pending payment. We work with most major insurers and process claims in-house, and we keep the accompanying family informed at every step.
Further Questions
Should I drive the patient myself or call the ambulance?
For possible stroke, heart attack, severe breathing difficulty or major trauma, call the ambulance — treatment can begin on the way and safe transport matters.
What information helps most on arrival?
The time symptoms started, what happened, current medicines and known allergies. Even partial information speeds care.
Do you treat children in the emergency department?
Yes — a paediatrician is on call 24/7 alongside the emergency team.
