About Us
MED for KIDS Nepal is a voluntary association that works for the welfare of children in Nepal. Our goal is to provide children in Nepal with access to medical care and social support. Through voluntary work and donations, we are able to positively influence the lives of many children and give them a better future.
Contacts with the Siddhi Memoral Hospital (SMH) have existed since 2016. What began with a visit to the SMH as a tourist has developed into regular contact and professional exchange between medical professionals in Nepal and Switzerland. In the meantime, nurses from Switzerland have been on short assignments at the SMH, combined with donations of medical materials, equipment and training on site and online. In June 2024, the MED for KIDS Nepal association was founded.
