Nepal is a landlocked country in the heart of the Himalayan region. Its remote villages and mountainous terrain provide a unique set of challenges in health care.

Despite the assorted challenges, the helicopter emergency medical service in Nepal is a part of the medical system. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the history of helicopter and air medical services in Nepal.
