Background information

Medical schools in Nepal are usually known as medical colleges. The history of modern medical education in Nepal is very short. Formal medical education started in Nepal after the establishment of Institute of Medicine, Nepal in 1972 under Tribhuvan University.[4] Previously, only few qualified doctors were present in Nepal before pre-democracy era in 1951. While few eager Nepalese doctors established Nepal Medical Association (NMA) on March 4, 1951 to unite all the practicing doctors.[5] They strongly raised voice to have medical council to regulate the medical practice in Nepal and Nepal Medical Council (NMC) was established on 28 February 1964.[6] However, NMC started functioning after the "NMC-Rules" was approved by His Majesty's Government on 1 January 1968.[7] At present there are six public medical colleges, fifteen private medical colleges and a single army funded medical college in Nepal.[1][8][9]
