KATHMANDU: Nepal Medical Association (NMA) and the Association of Private Health Institution Nepal (APHIN) have reached an agreement to hike the doctor’s consultation charge by 14 percent beginning today.

This is the second times in two years that medical consultation fees have increased.
As said by NMA general secretary Dr Sanjeev Tiwari, the latest decision to hike the fees follows on the recommendation of the Nepal Rastra Bank’s Inflation and Fees Advisory Committee.

As per the revised fee chart, Rs 420 to Rs 940 per patient for doctor consultation. The fees to see MBBS and BDS graduates with a five-year experience is fixed at Rs 420 while Rs 515 is charged to receive services from those who have more than a five-year experience.
