Our Roots:
Founded in 2010, the Telemedicine Society of Nepal (TMSoN) was established from the collaborative vision of a diverse team comprising ICT experts, medical professionals, and development practitioners. The establishment of this organization was driven by the imperative to connect geographically isolated communities deprived of essential healthcare. We recognized the need for an institutional arrangement to advocate, collaborate, and support telemedicine practices in the country.
Our Early Years:
In its early years, the Nepal Telemedicine Society (TMSoN) played a crucial role in connecting many rural health centers in Nepal with telemedicine services. By leveraging the wireless network established by the Nepal Wireless Project, led by one of TMSoN’s founders, Mahabir Pun, the society facilitated real-time video conferencing-based telemedicine practices, connecting rural health posts with the Kathmandu Model Hospital.

TMSoN is registered with the District Administrative Office in Kathmandu and holds affiliations with the Social Welfare Council and Kathmandu Metropolitan Office.
