Medically reviewed perspective by the General Physician team, Mero Hospital, Kathmandu Once a doctor diagnoses you with diabetes, one visit is never enough — managing it well requires consistent, long-term follow-up. Yet many patients in Kathmandu still treat diabetes as a one-time diagnosis rather than an ongoing condition, only returning [...]
For many Nepali families, especially those with children working abroad, one question keeps coming back: who looks after Mummy-Buba when nobody is home during the day? As parents age, small worries — a missed blood pressure reading, a forgotten medicine dose, a fall while getting up alone — start to [...]
