Green Pas­tures Hos­pi­tal – Green Pas­tures Hos­pi­tal in Pokhara was opened in 1957 as a leprosy hos­pi­tal. It has since broad­ened its scope and now sup­ports people with all kinds of disabilities.

The hos­pi­tal pro­vides both in-patient and out-patient leprosy ser­vices, recon­struc­tive surgery, nursing care, lab­o­ra­tory ser­vices, coun­selling, and health edu­ca­tion. It also offers reha­bil­i­ta­tion services—including orthopaedic appli­ances, phys­io­ther­apy, and occu­pa­tional therapy—for both in-patients and out-patients.

Green Pas­tures has beds for patients with leprosy and other dis­abil­i­ties, as well as those requir­ing pal­lia­tive care—many of whom are too poor to afford treatment.
