Dr. Sunita Thapa

Dr. Sunita Thapa is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at B&B Hospital in Kathmandu, one of Nepal's established private hospitals. With 13 years of experience, she provides comprehensive women's health care with a strong emphasis on safe motherhood — a critical priority in Nepal, where maternal mortality has been significantly reduced but remains higher than in high-income countries.

Dr. Thapa trained at Kathmandu Medical College before completing her MD in OB-GYN at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and obtaining FCPS in OB-GYN. Her practice at B&B Hospital covers the full range of obstetric and gynecological care, from routine antenatal care through high-risk pregnancy management to gynecologic surgery.

She is committed to safe motherhood initiatives in Nepal, participating in community awareness programs on antenatal care, institutional delivery, and postpartum care — particularly targeting women in rural Nepal who travel to Kathmandu for specialist care. She also provides cervical cancer screening services, addressing a significant gynecologic cancer burden in Nepal.

Dr. Thapa is accessible to international patients including trekkers, volunteers, and workers based in Nepal who require obstetric or gynecological care during their time in the country.

Dr. Thapa earned her MBBS from Kathmandu Medical College. She completed her OB-GYN residency at the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Tribhuvan University, obtaining MD OB-GYN, and also holds FCPS in OB-GYN from the College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan.

She has completed training in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and has attended workshops in maternal-fetal medicine and safe motherhood through Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists programs.

Dr. Thapa's obstetric practice covers routine and complicated pregnancies, including management of hypertension in pregnancy, gestational diabetes, anaemia in pregnancy, twin pregnancies, and abnormal placentation. She performs caesarean sections and supports normal vaginal deliveries.

In gynecology, she manages uterine fibroids (including myomectomy), ovarian cysts (including cystectomy), endometriosis, PCOS with associated menstrual disorders and infertility, and abnormal uterine bleeding. She performs hysteroscopy for uterine cavity assessment and laparoscopic procedures for benign gynecological conditions.

Cervical cancer screening and colposcopy for abnormal smear results are an important part of her practice, given the high prevalence of HPV-related cervical disease in Nepal.

Dr. Thapa has contributed to the Journal of Nepal Medical Association and has presented at the Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Annual Conference. Her research interests include maternal mortality reduction in Nepal, outcomes of caesarean delivery in Kathmandu private hospitals, and cervical cancer screening effectiveness in the Nepali population context. She participates in safe motherhood network activities and contributes to community education on women's reproductive health in Nepal, including outreach efforts targeting rural women traveling to Kathmandu for specialist care.

Dr. Thapa sees international patients at B&B Hospital in Kathmandu, including expatriates, NGO and development workers, volunteers, and trekkers requiring obstetric or gynecological care during their stay in Nepal. She consults in Nepali, Hindi, and English, accommodating the diverse international community in Kathmandu. Video consultations are available for gynecological second opinions and prenatal case reviews for diaspora patients planning to deliver in Kathmandu or seeking specialist advice from abroad. She assists international patients in understanding their options, coordinating care, and arranging referrals to higher-level centers when specialist services exceed what is available in Nepal.

Dr. Thapa has been recognized by B&B Hospital for her outstanding contributions to maternal and gynecological care and for her role in managing complex obstetric cases referred from across Nepal. She is an active Fellow of the Nepal Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and holds FCPS in OB-GYN. She contributes to safe motherhood awareness programs across Nepal, participating in community outreach efforts to improve antenatal care uptake and institutional delivery rates. She has been acknowledged for her work in cervical cancer prevention through colposcopy screening and for training junior doctors and midwives in safe obstetric practice at B&B Hospital.
