Nepal Cancer Hospital Khajura Banke

Sushil Koirala Prakhar Cancer Hospital in Khajura, Banke (often referred to locally as Nepal Cancer Hospital, Khajura) is a specialized government-run cancer treatment hospital serving western Nepal, including Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudur Paschim provinces. It was originally established to provide much-needed oncology care in the region, aiming to reduce the need for patients to travel to major centers like Kathmandu or Bharatpur for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The hospital offers a range of cancer services and has been gradually expanding its clinical capabilities. Recent developments include the start of blood cancer (hematology) treatment services and efforts to install advanced technology such as a LINAC radiotherapy machine, which is critical for external beam radiation therapy. The facility also collaborates with local organizations—for example, a blood bank initiative involving the Nepal Red Cross Society and Khajura Rural Municipality to support patients’ needs.
