Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences (MMHS)

Overview

Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences (MMIHS) is a private academic institution specializing in health science education, located at Soalteemode, Kathmandu. Established in 2007 and run under the umbrella of Nepal Health Care Cooperative Limited (NEHCO-Nepal), MMIHS is named in honor of late Manmohan Adhikari — former Prime Minister of Nepal and a renowned patriot and South Asian leader.

Affiliated with Tribhuvan University (TU) for degree-level programs and CTEVT for technical certificate programs, MMIHS offers a comprehensive range of health science education spanning nursing, public health, pharmacy, medical laboratory technology, diagnostic radiography, and clinical sciences at both bachelor's and master's levels.

The institute is founded on the belief that the triangulation of education, services, and research develops technically competent, socially responsible, and internationally recognized health professionals. MMIHS also manages the Manmohan Memorial Community Hospital as a sister entity under NEHCO, providing practical clinical exposure for students.
