Beni Hospital in Myagdi district has introduced discounted medical services for senior citizens, aligning with the government’s policy to ensure accessible healthcare for the elderly.
The 50-bed hospital has officially launched the initiative to provide age-based treatment discounts, offering significant financial relief to elderly patients seeking care.
Discount Tiers Based on Age
According to Dilkumari Khatri, Chairperson of the Hospital Management Committee:
- Seniors aged 60 to 69 will receive 50% discount on hospital-designated services.
- Those aged 70 to 79 will receive a 75% discount.
- Citizens aged 80 and above will receive most services free of cost.
Beni Hospital, which serves over 60,000 patients annually, hopes this step will encourage more elderly individuals to seek timely medical attention and improve their overall well-being.
The program is part of Nepal’s broader healthcare reform focused on supporting vulnerable populations, particularly the aging community.
