Dr. Manish Shrestha
Consultant
Dr. Manish Shrestha is a consultant Paediatric Cardiologist at Nepal Mediciti, with a specialization in Paediatric Cardiology and catheter interventions for congenital heart disease. He completed his MBBS at the College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu University, and pursued an M.D. in Paediatrics at the Institute of Medicine, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu. Further advancing his expertise, Dr. Shrestha earned a Fellowship in Paediatric Cardiology from the Paediatric Heart Centre, Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health in Bangkok, Thailand.
In addition to his foundational education and training, Dr. Shrestha expanded his skills through a Fall Fellow course organized by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) in Las Vegas, USA, in 2017. This experience has bolstered his proficiency in catheter interventions and cardiac imaging, particularly in the management of congenital heart diseases and adult congenital heart conditions.
Dr. Shrestha's clinical focus includes catheter interventions for congenital heart diseases, comprehensive cardiac imaging, and the care of patients with adult congenital heart conditions. His extensive training and specialized skills enable him to provide advanced care and innovative treatment options for pediatric patients with complex cardiac conditions.
