Jumla, Jan 27: Students from various districts have arrived in Jumla to study medicine at the Karnali Academy of Health Sciences (KAHS). One hundred and four students from different districts have come to study MBBS, BNS, BPH, B-Pharm, B.Sc Nursing, and other medical education subjects.
The Karnali region, which once suffered premature deaths due to a lack of doctors, has now become a hub for producing skilled medical professionals.
The institution has demonstrated excellent performance in the field of education, achieving a 100% pass rate in various licensing examinations by the Nepal Medical Council (NMC). It is reported that there has been an increase in the number of people leaving accessible areas to come to the institution to study medicine.
Suraj Upadhyay from Jumla Kanka Sundari Rural Municipality-5, who recently enrolled in BPH, mentioned that the days of having to travel to Kathmandu with heavy bags to study are over, and now students have to come to Jumla from Kathmandu with heavy suitcases.
Pratiskha Gyawali from Kathmandu, who came to the institution to study MBBS, stated that she chose Jumla for her studies because she was impressed with all aspects of the institution, including teaching and management. Students have been admitted to various faculties in the institute, with 43 students for MBBS, 15 for BPH, 14 for B-Pharm, 17 for B. Sc Nursing, and 15 for BNS, totaling 104 students from different districts of the country coming to Jumla, as mentioned by Assistant Professor Om Prakash Kafle, coordinator of the fourth-year program at the School of Public Health BPH. #nepal #medical #KIHS
