ValueSet: Nepal Drug Value Set

Official URL: http://fhir.digitalhealth.gov.np/core/ValueSet/nepal-drug-vs Version: 1.0.0
Draft as of 2026-10-14 Computable Name: NepalDrugVS

Generic medicines from the Nepal Drug code system, bound (preferred) to the medication code elements of the NP Core medication profiles. The underlying code system is a placeholder to be developed and maintained by the Department of Drug Administration (DDA); this value set will grow with it. The preferred binding allows other code systems (e.g. SNOMED CT) to be used where the national list has no suitable concept.
