Banepa has a Seventh-day Adventist hospital called Scheer Memorial Hospital, which was established in 1957. This hospital has been expanded as a medical college associated with Vanderbilt University in the USA and Kathmandu University. Many students enroll in the MBBS and B.Sc. Nursing programs at this hospital. Banepa is also the location of the Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre for Disabled Children (HRDC). HRDC is a program of a non-governmental organization, the Friends of the Disabled. It is the only hospital in the country that provides tertiary-level care, and it provides the best reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation for children below 16 years of age. Its services are aimed at under-privileged, physically challenged children in Nepal.
