About United Mission Hospital Tansen

Our Mission UMHT is a regional level center of health excellence and training providing holistic preventive, promotive, curative, and palliative care in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ, with special focus on the poor and marginalised. History The United Mission Hospital, Tansen was founded in 1954 by Dr Carl Friedericks. The Flemming family and Carl Friedericks visited Nepal in the winter of 1951-2 as part of a bird watching expedition. Dr Bethel Flemming and Carl Friedericks conducted a medical camp in Tansen and as a result of this the local people invited them to found a hospital. In 1954 the newly formed United Mission to Nepal (UMN) was granted permission for health work in the Kathmandu valley and Tansen. The work began with a small clinic in rented premises in Tansen Bazaar and seven year later moved to the present site in Bhusaldanda. The United Mission Hospital Tansen today is a 169 bedded acute care hospital. Approximately 90,000 out patients visit each year, 12,000 patients are admitted, and there are 15,000 emergency room visits, 2,200 deliveries, and 7000 operations. The hospital also has an active Community Health Department.
