The
year 2008 became a good start
for Health Partnership Nepal
(a partnership project between
NMCTH and St.
Georges University of London).
The Visit of two students (Bibek
Aryal and Suman Raj Adhikari)
of NMC to St. George in this
January became an instrumental
experience for both the college
and students. During their visit,
meetings, conference and other
activities were carried out
in St. George University of
London.
At
the same time, the visit led
to setup good relationship between
the two colleges with invitations
of professors to NMCTH, establish
student exchange programme in
the near future and run the
partnership project smoothly
with active participation from
both sides.

Nepal
link brings benefits to
all
TWO medical
students from Nepal Medical
College and Teaching Hospital
were welcomed to St George’s
by Professor Sean Hilton
after the formation of
an NHS link between the
two institutions.
The partnership will give
St George’s staff
and students the chance
to apply medical skills
in areas with little access
to services. The first
clinics in Nepal are scheduled
for summer 2009. Visitors
Suman and Bibek outlined
areas where Nepal could
benefit from St George’s
expertise, such as infection
control. It is also hoped
this will be the start
of many research collaborations.
Student recruitment starts
with an information session
this month; staff should
