Patient safety in Nepal’s healthcare system remains a critical challenge due
to fragmented regulatory frameworks, resource constraints, and inadequate
monitoring mechanisms. Despite multiple regulatory bodies overseeing healthcare
services, their lack of coordination limits effectiveness. Learning from international
models, Nepal can enhance patient safety by establishing a unified governance
system, strengthened monitoring mechanisms, and increased budget allocations. A
dedicated patient safety framework, including stakeholder collaboration, capacity-
building, and a national reporting system, is crucial. Increasing healthcare funding
to at least 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would demonstrate Nepal’s
commitment towards improving patient safety and achieving global healthcare
standards.
