Nepal is in high risk zone for the communicable diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, hepatitis C etc.
National Statistics have shown than 15 million people, almost half of the Nepal's population is infected with TB. Each year 44000 new cases are detected and 5000 to 7000 people die of TB in Nepal. It is estimated that one infected person transmit 20 healthy individuals in an average. So many countries prohibit the immigrants with TB or TB suspects.
In general HIV prevalence among adult population is 0.17% in 2016. However HIV prevalence among certain population groups such as people who inject drugs, female sex workers and MSM (men sex with men) and TG (trans gender)are more than 5% due to which Nepal's HIV epidemic is categorized as concentrated epidemic.

Similarly, HIV screening is done by ELISA technique and confirmatory Western Bolt test is done for ELISA positive case.
Imaging and Lab test are
1 Chest X-ray – For any abnormalities and other findings including no active lung lesion,
- each x ray is reported by the consultant radiologist
2 screening / diagnostic lab- by our own high quality laboratories and qualified lab technicians
i)CBC ii) Urine iii) VDRL iv) HIV v) HBsAg vi) anti HBc
if any of the screening test is positive we referred to national laboratory for confirmation
