1. INTRODUCTION
B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) was established on
January 18, 1993 and subsequently upgraded to an autonomous Health
Sciences University on October 28, 1998 with a mandate to work
towards developing socially responsible and competent health
workforce, providing health care and engaging in health research. The
Institute is located in eastern Nepal and it has extended its continued
health services through teaching district concept to Primary Health Care
Centers, District Hospitals and Zonal Hospitals in eight districts of the
region. This University is aptly named after Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala,
Nepal's visionary leader in social uplifting and a firm believer of national
integration.
This Institute is envisaged as one of the most successful examples of
Nepal-India co-operation. The Health Ministers of the two countries
signed the Indo-Nepal agreement for collaborative development of
BPKIHS on the Hindu auspicious day of Mahashivaratri (March 10,
1994).
BPKIHS has a vision of a self-governing, self-reliant international Health
Sciences University aiming at attracting students and teachers from all
over the world to its constantly innovative educational programs.
BPKIHS has also been envisioned by the Nepalese Parliament as a
center of national importance to produce skilled manpower in health
sector to meet the country's needs and also to function as a center of
excellence in the field of tropical and infectious diseases.
BPKIHS has subspecialty, postgraduate and undergraduate programs. It
has four colleges: Medical, Dental, Nursing and Public Health. Its Central
Teaching Hospital has 763 beds and well established major clinical and
basic sciences departments.

The MBBS program of BPKIHS started in 1994, is recognized by Medical

The Institute started BDS program in 1999, which is recognized by the
Nepal Medical Council. The duration of both BDS and MBBS Program is
4½ years followed by a year of Compulsory Community Oriented
Residential Rotating Internship, which is mandatory and to be
1
completed successfully at BPKIHS and its Teaching District Hospitals.
This feature is new and unique in this part of the world.

Postgraduate programs (MD/MS and MSc) were started in 1999. All

the MD/MS, MSc and MPH degree are recognized by respective
councils of Nepal and several MD/MS degrees (Anesthesiology,
Dermatology and Venereology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Surgery,
Radiology, Psychiatry, Otorhinolaryngology, Medicine, Pharmacology

complexes for both BDS and Nursing programs in the BPKIHS campus.

The School of Public Health was established in 2005 and it is running a

two-year MPH program. The MSc Nursing Program is running in

of Teaching District Hospitals (learning by doing at community level).
Accordingly, students of various programs visit and/or are posted to the

other hand, the local health institutions get regular qualified health
workforce to provide the quality services.

2. VISION, MISSION AND GOALS OF BPKIHS
Vision
BPKIHS has been visualized as
 A self-governing, self-reliant International Health Sciences
University attracting students and teachers from all over the world
to its constantly innovative educational programs.
 A national center for providing quality health services from tertiary
to primary, and developing replicable and sustainable models of
integrated health systems sensitive to the needs of both the
individuals and the community living in urban as well as rural areas.
 A prestigious center for biomedical and health system research, and
as a center of excellence for tropical and infectious diseases.
 A complete health development project through its teaching
districts, which will catalyze an environment-friendly human
development initiative resulting in enhancement in the quality of
life of the people of Nepal and those working in BPKIHS to ensure a
high level of commitment to excellence and dedication to service.

Mission
The main mission of BPKIHS is to improve the health status of the
people of Nepal by providing holistic health care through training of
compassionate, caring, communicative and socially accountable health
workforce acting as agents of change and through advancement in
research and innovation in service as well as education to ensure
healthy individuals and families by collaborating with all stakeholders.

Goals
Educational Goals
In terms of achieving the educational goals of the Institute, both the
present curricula and future educational programmes are to be need-
based, integrated, community-oriented and partially problem-solving in
line with innovative medical education programmes epitomized in the
Edinburgh Declaration of 1988. These are the basic tenets on which BPKIHS
curricula are based.

4
In the area of service delivery, this Institute is committed to provide
services not only to those coming to its teaching hospital but also to those
who are not able to do so. The Institute does this by reaching out to the
community that cannot reach the Institute. It is not only reaching out to
the sick in the community but is committed to the active promotion of
positive health and through it, improvement in the status of the
community health that will serve as a measure of attainment of our service
goals. The faculty at BPKIHS is expected to monitor health indicators such
as Infant mortality rate, crude birth rate, crude death rate, blindness,
deafness and disability rates etc. on an ongoing basis much in the same
way as we monitor our individual patients in terms of established clinical
parameters.

Research goals
In the field of research, high priority is accorded to the areas requiring
greater attention to solve the existing and emerging health problems
threatening the well-being of large population groups using multi-
disciplinary, integrated and problem-solving approach. Greater emphasis is
placed on research which will lead to application of available knowledge for
the benefit of large number of people.
