Established in 2072 BS, Pokhara Academy of Health Sciences (hereafter, POAHS) occupies perennial status by being the only medical institute for postgraduates in Gandaki Province at government level. In a short period of time, this institution is marching towards excellence by making continuous and rigorous efforts to disseminate knowledge, transfer skills, promote medical education, innovate research, and contribute to establishing a healthy society. The academy equips students with technical, medical, and professional knowledge and provides an environment that encourages research, innovation, and critical thinking and prepares them to face the challenges of life ahead. I am honored to take over as PoAHS's educational leader.
As the Vice-Chancellor, I am capable of fully embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and will take this unique opportunity to help shape the future of medical education and research at this institution. Since my appointment, Western Regional Hospital has got its own oxygen plants with central supply to the beds of patient wards, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) and successful Kidney Transplantation. PoAHS has launched various health-related programs of the Ministry of Health and Population.
The Academy's success is based on a blend of glorious traditions and innovative approaches multiplied by the great potential of human resources. We are proud to be a unique educational and medical complex that graduates, certifies, and provides lifelong professional education for physicians and other healthcare workers that contribute significantly to domestic and global medicine. I am confident that our graduates will compete in the medical field throughout the globe..
I am sure you will find a program that meets your needs and interests in this prospect. I hope you will take full advantage of the post-graduate studies we offer and that you will join us as we strive for ever greater heights of academic and research excellence. In addition, the Pokhara Academy of Health Sciences is a milestone in providing not only basic health services but advanced quality services as well to uplift and maintain the health of the people of Nepal
