B.P.
Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) was established
on January 18, 1993 and subsequently upgraded as an Autonomous
Health Sciences University on October 28, 1998 with a
mandate to work towards developing socially responsible and competent
health work force, providing health care and engaging in health
research. The Institute is located in Eastern Nepal & it has
extended its continued health services through teaching district
concept to Primary Health Care Centers, District Hospitals and
Zonal Hosptals in six districts of the region.
This Institute is envisaged as one of the finest examples of
Indo-Nepal Co-operation. The Health Ministers of the two countries
signed the Indo-Nepal agreement for establishment of BPKIHS on
the auspicious day of Mahashivaratri (March 10, 1994).
This University is aptly named after Bisheshwar Prasad Koirala,
Nepal's visionary leader in social upliftment, firm believer of
National Reconciliation and National Integration. Situated in
Dharan in the hilly slopes sprawled over an area of about 700
acres, the University has a clean pollution free environment,
and water supply and electricity supply round the clock. The Institute
is fully committed to its social responsibility and accountability.
Candidates from disadvantaged groups are given opportunities for
admission in most of the academic programmes. While selecting
candidates for post graduate studies, the Institute has given
due recognition to those medical officers who have worked in the
primary health centers and district hospitals. The Institute has
adopted innovative approaches of community-based training of students
and services to the local people through the concept of Teaching
District. Under this concept students of various programmes visit
and/or are posted in the health institutions under faculty supervision
where on one hand they get opportunity to learn in the community
set-up and on the other hand the local health institutions get
qualified health work-force regularly to provide the quality services
to the people. The Institute has given special attention for upliftment
rural women from the marginalized communities of the teaching
district. Social health insurance scheme is another example of
its social responsibility under which local families are getting
comprehensive health insurance from its teaching hospital.
