The museum and heritage precincts of Kathmandu (primarily the Chhauni area and the historic Durbar Squares) are served by the capital city's extensive healthcare infrastructure.
* **Major Hospitals:** Bir Hospital (the oldest hospital in Nepal, located near Kathmandu Durbar Square), Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), and Manmohan Memorial Hospital. * **Specialized and Tourist Care:** CIWEC Hospital and Clinic in the nearby Lainchaur area is highly recommended for travelers and expatriates, offering international-standard urgent care and travel medicine. * **Pharmacies:** Small private pharmacies (often labeled as "Medical Halls") are ubiquitous along the streets connecting the museum districts, offering over-the-counter medications and basic first aid.
