The Challenge

Bridging the Gap Between Science and System

In Nepal, health professional education excels at teaching clinical and industrial sciences across pharmacy, medicine, nursing, and public health. However, there is a massive gap when it comes to understanding how health policies are made, how federalism impacts healthcare, and how health professionals can advocate for change.

The Health Policy Symposium is a premier, one-day intensive event designed by CPREC Nepal. We are bringing together students, early-career health professionals, regulators, and public health experts to transform today's students into tomorrow's healthcare leaders.

Understand the System: Learn how MoHP, DDA, NHRC, and NMC function in federal Nepal.
Learn to Advocate: Master communication on issues like AMR.
Hands-on Skills: Write actual, data-driven Policy Briefs.
Direct Networking: Connect with experts shaping National Health Policy.

Key Objectives

Promote Youth Leadership
