History
Bir Hospital was established in 1947 B.S (1889AD) by Bir Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana and was initially called Prithvi Bir Hospital, Prithvi being the name of the then king Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah. It had 30 beds.
An ordinance for the Constitution of a Bir Hospital Development Board was formulated in November of 1957 and was waiting the King's approval.
There were separate medical buildings for men and women. Sometime in 1961, the buildings were reassigned and one became surgical and the other a medical ward. A 250 bed extension was postponed due to scarcity of funds in the same year.
Infrastructure Development
Bir Hospital was expanded with a 200 bed Emergency and Trauma Center with funding from the Government of India, foundation stone was laid in June 1997.

Funding and challenges
The yearly budget of NPR 27 Crore (about US$2.371 million), two thirds of which is funded by the government. The hospital has been facing financial difficulties for many years now. The lack of adequate funding, non-functional equipment and inability of the administration to get those running pose significant challenges to the hospital's functioning. Moreover, inappropriate politicization of the administration seems to be the major contributor to the sorry state of affairs at the hospital.
To help in the financing of the hospital expenses, it runs a medical school, which conducts post-graduate medical, surgical and other specialists training and also runs bachelor's level in nursing.
