How Dharan patients access care
Dharan is a major town in eastern Nepal, and patients from Dharan 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 Dharan when needed.

- Telemedicine triage to assess urgency and necessity of travel
- Follow-up possible remotely after initial in-person assessment

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 Dharan can be planned efficiently: the clinic operates Sunday through Saturday, 9 AM to 7 PM by appointment.
