Message from General Manager
MR. KAILASH KUMAR PANERU
As the General Manager of Nepal’s oldest and only government-owned pharmaceutical company, I am proud to lead an institution that plays a vital role in advancing public health and strengthening national self-reliance. For over five decades, Nepal Aushadhi Limited (NAL) has remained committed to producing quality-assured, affordable medicines to meet the healthcare needs of the people of Nepal.
Our mission is clear: to support the Government of Nepal’s national health objectives—guided by the National Health Policy and the Drug Act 2035—by ensuring the sustainable production, quality assurance, and equitable supply of essential medicines across all levels of the healthcare system. As a government-owned enterprise, we are committed to enhancing access to affordable, safe, and effective medicines, promoting self-reliance in pharmaceuticals, and strengthening the public health supply chain from federal to local level. A key milestone in our journey was the achievement of WHO-GMP certification in 2025, a formal recognition of our adherence to internationally accepted Good Manufacturing Practices. This milestone not only reinforces public confidence in our medicines but also positions NAL for future growth in both national and international procurement markets. On behalf of the entire NAL team, I extend my sincere gratitude to our partners, regulators, and stakeholders for their trust and collaboration. We remain fully committed to our vision of ensuring that safe, effective, and affordable medicines are accessible to every corner of the country—and beyond.
