NAIHS College has many glories attached to its name. The hospital was the first to introduce fiber-optic endoscope services and establish a semi-automatic pathology lab. Later, the upgraded services were shifted to Shree Birendra Hospital (SBH) in Chhauni, Kathmandu. All the modern facilities, such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), and MultiSlice Helical CT, were used in Nepal for the first time. In the history of the Nepalese Army Medical Corps (NAMC), the transformation of TCMH services to SBH and subsequently NAIHS has been considered a major achievement.

The idea of the establishment of NAIHS originated with the need to improve the patient care system within the Nepalese Army Medical Corps (NAMC) by including the medical potentialities of its health professionals. And opening its medical institutions to academics. There is a shortage of qualified health professionals in the country.
