Criticism and Controversies[]

Medical education in Nepal is highly controversial as many qualified students are turned away in lieu of competitive marks. Corruption is rampant with schools accepting students based on connections to established figures or illicit donations made to the school. The "hidden" tuition, as it's referred, is the additional cost of bribing officials in the education and healthy ministry with some students paying triple the tuition fees for enrollment.[1][2][3][4]

Dr. Govinda KC is a strong supporter of medical education reform in Nepal and has long advocated to break the education "mafia" present in the system.[3][4]
