The Civil Service Hospital in Minbhawan, Kathmandu, has started online booking for outpatient department (OPD) appointments and has since added laboratory and radiology tests and health check-up packages to its booking portal, booking.csh.gov.np. According to Techpana and ICT Samachar, patients can book OPD appointments up to seven days ahead. Users register with a mobile number verified by an OTP sent by SMS or the Nagarik App, can add up to six family members including themselves, and must pay within 15 minutes by NepalPay QR code to receive a digital ticket.
Techpana and Aarthik News report that more than 460 laboratory and radiology tests can now be booked online, including a Rs 5,049 Master Health Checkup of 15 tests and packages for people going abroad for work or study. CT scans and MRIs need an uploaded photo of a doctor's prescription. In its November 10 report, Techpana said the website offered a same-day token but no option to choose a date, and that the hospital's older Midas-built app does not offer online booking.
