First of all, I would like to welcome you to PoAHS. It was established in 2072 B.S. by upgrading Western Regional Hospital according to Pokhara Academy of Health Sciences Act passed by House of Representatives. It is the one and only government level medical institute in whole Gandaki province.Our academic teams are determined to provide quality education in the field of health sciences to produce world class health professionals. I personally believe Pokhara is blessed geographically with pleasant, soothing and beautiful nature like mountains, hills, lakes and rivers which makes it an ideal place to study the toughest subjects like medical sciences.
We started our PG programmes since 2076 B.S. Currently we offer PG programmes in Surgery, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics, Paediatrics, Anaesthesia, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ottorhinolaryngology-Head and neck surgery, Radiology and Pathology. We have 76 residents in total (including 1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year of all programmes). We are anticipated to conduct final exams for final year residents and provide our nation with qualified specialized doctors who will serve different parts of our country.
We further plan to extend our educational activity by starting PG programmes in other courses as well, MBBS, BDS, B.Sc. Nursing and Allied Sciences programmes. We have prepared infrastructures to make sure that B.Sc. Nursing programme starts this fiscal year and we are working on infrastructures to ensure we start MBBS programme by 2024 AD.
If you are considering POAHS for any courses we are offering, I invite you to take advantage of the resources and opportunities that we have. Be a part of it and experience the evolution of being a skilled, qualified and responsible health professional.
All the best for the bright future.
