NMLE for foreign citizens??

[Rajiv]

I understand by NMLE a compulsory exam, which must be taken successfully in oder to be allowed to practice in Nepal. Do Physicians with foreign nationality (EU/non-SAsia) also need to take this exam, if they want to volunteer or work in nepal for few years?? What are the regulations??
Actually I think they certainly need to, but wanted to be sure bout that, whether there are special rules for volunteers/short term practitioner or not. Would anybody please make me clear ?? Thanks in adv.

Thank you very much Dr Angel. Do you also know whether the duration is defined in some manner or not?

Usually for One year, then renew it I guess.
