Kathmandu Medical College

KMC has two campuses that separate basic learning from clinical practice, which helps both groups stay focused.

• Duwakot Basic Science Campus is a separate building for the first two years of the MBBS program. It has modern classrooms and its own community hospital.
• The Interactive Simulation Center is a high-tech lab where students use realistic manikins to practice responding to medical emergencies and procedures.
• Advanced Imaging Center: Has the best diagnostic tools, like 128-slice CT scans and 3 Tesla MRI scans.
• Digital Medical Library: A huge building on both campuses that has thousands of books and lets people read important international journals from anywhere.
• Bi-Plane Catheterization Labs: Special facilities for training in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology.
• The Telemedicine Wing is a modern building that hosts remote learning and student exchange programs with partners in the US, Japan, and Sweden.
• Research and Analytical Labs: High-end labs for molecular biology and biochemistry that work with outside research projects.
• The Multimedia Lecture Halls feature soundproofed theaters equipped with smart boards and recording equipment for all sessions.
• Auditorium & Social Hub: A big indoor space that hosts international conferences, medical workshops, and college fests every year.

The Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital (KMCTH) in Sinamangal is a major tertiary care center.
