Our own Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Center (AIMS Hospital) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kathmandu-based Association of Non-Government Hospitals (ANGHOS) to establish telemedicine centers linking seven ANGHOS-member hospitals in Nepal with Amrita’s medical experts in India.

The wide-ranging agreement, which also includes initiatives such as a training and exchange programs for doctors, students and nurses, heralds a new era of collaborative healthcare between the two countries.

The agreement was signed by Dr. Prem Nair, Medical Director of AIMS Hospital, and Dr. Bharat Pradhan, the Chairperson of ANGHOS, Nepal.
