Since its establishment, the Siddhi Memorial Foundation has gained overwhelming popularity as a supplier of much needed first aid facilities and primary care to the community. As a non-governmental, non-profit, charitable organization, it has won the confidence of its concerned supporters from both the national and foreign lands. The hospital has grown with the moral and monetary support of its donors, to a complex now consisting of three multi-story buildings, on approximately 6500 square meters of farming land, in Bhimsensthan, ward no.7- Bhaktapur.

Since 1993, SMH has been committed to providing quality, accessible healthcare services, and has seen continuous improvements in the care provided to both women and children.
