How Chitwan patients access care
Chitwan district, with Bharatpur as its major urban centre, is approximately 150 km southwest of Kathmandu. Patients from Chitwan seeking specialist neurological evaluation can access Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav (NMC 8029) at Kathmandu Neurology Clinic & Cognitive Center, Durbar Marg, Opposite of Yak & Yeti Hotel through two pathways: in-person visits and telemedicine consultations. For patients who can travel to Kathmandu, the clinic allocates extended consultation time to allow comprehensive evaluation in a single visit, reducing the need for repeated long-distance travel.
For patients unable to travel to Kathmandu, initial telephone or video consultation can assess urgency and determine whether an in-person visit is required. This triage approach ensures that patients with urgent or complex presentations — such as new-onset seizures, progressive weakness or sudden neurological deficits — are directed to appropriate in-person care promptly, while stable patients with established diagnoses can be managed remotely. After the initial in-person assessment, selected follow-up consultations may be possible remotely, coordinated with local physicians in Bharatpur or Chitwan when needed.
- In-person visits with extended consultation time for Chitwan patients
- Telemedicine triage to assess urgency and necessity of travel
- Follow-up possible remotely after initial in-person assessment
- Coordination with local physicians in Bharatpur when appropriate

Telemedicine and in-person options
Telemedicine consultation is suitable for established patients requiring medication review, diary-based assessment and follow-up of stable conditions such as migraine, epilepsy, chronic headache and neuropathy. New or complex presentations — including first-seizure evaluation, new cognitive decline, progressive weakness, or diagnostic uncertainty — require in-person neurological examination. The clinician determines suitability for telemedicine during the initial booking call.
In-person visits from Chitwan can be planned efficiently: the clinic operates Sunday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM by appointment. Call 974-7736624 or use /book-appointment to discuss your situation, arrange the appropriate consultation format, and ensure adequate time is allocated. Patients travelling from Chitwan should bring a symptom diary (at least 4 weeks), current and past medication list with doses, any prior investigations (MRI, EEG, nerve studies, blood tests), and a family member who can provide additional observations especially for memory or seizure concerns. For patients with limited mobility or urgent concerns, emergency services should be contacted directly rather than waiting for a clinic appointment.
