Addressing the 12th meeting of the Government of Nepal Medical Education Commission held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar, on Monday, the PM said that there is a direct relationship between the production of skilled medical manpower and employment opportunities in line with the number qualified students wanting to study medicine and the delivery in health service system.  

The PM said, “It is time to upgrade the delivery of health service by giving employment opportunities to medical personnel and increasing opportunities to study medical education on the basis of anticipation of the need for medical professionals in the sector. Along with this, it is mandatory to follow the basic guidelines on teaching and learning along with producing skilled manpower.”
