Opening new colleges - some people just don't like it and some are sceptic about it.

But the reality is that we lack manpower in our country - MEDICAL manpower and many many youngsters want to join the medical field. They are studying abroad with a lot of investment which should have been in our own country. It is a lot of hard work, investment and unnecessary burden to study abroad. Therefore, the new colleges opened should recruit more Nepalese students and few more such colleges should be opened.

Hopefully, things go in right direction as we expect.


Best wishes,

Hey man , do you know the expenses of study in Nepal N abroad ? If with less money {than in abroad ** can be studied in Nepal , who stupid will go to abroad to study ha ? Its easy to say study in own country, but no one thinks about poor peaople who want to be doctor . Its cheaper in abroad so a lot people go to abroad to study MBBS. Remember this .......................

[bishnurath]

it might be cheaper to study MBBS in some foreign countries compared to nepal
but certainly that too is not in the reach of poor people nd hence is not an inexpensive alternative to studying MBBS in nepali colleges

besides there are other advantages of opening medical colleges like

production of manpower (as pointed out by mati),
addition of a tertiary care hospital (cheaper than nursing homes and private hospitals) which increases the quantity and quality of health care available to a region,
promotion of medical research at local level,
employement to hundreds of nepalese citizens (indirectly to thousands),
development of locality,
incoming of foreign investment,
national income increases by the tax/fees/expenditure from foreign students,
import of knowledge and skills from teaching staff who come from abroad
etc

and in fact colleges within nepal are the very place where poor people can become doctors....... in the government's scholarship quota the ministry of education sends students in merit basis and in reservation quotas to study MBBS nd this is where poor people get entry into MBBS...........

and in case of foreign investment institutions, they are gonna be handed over to the government after 50 years (MCOMS is already 14 yrs old in paper)

opening of medical colleges is definitely advantageous there should be no skepticism
rather the focus should be laid in maintaining the quality standards in these institutions.

thats true.........its the medical colleges of nepal which provide chance to become a doctor for poor people through the government scholarship. and also the medical education abroad is also not cheap....definitely not in reach of poor people.

personally i am not against opening new medical college, but what i feel more important is to maintain the quality of the existing and new colleges. and the other thing is to prevent the BRAIN DRAIN which is causing much problems in countries like nepal.
