URL-http://apps.who.int/iris/ Nepal, with a population in excess of 11.5 million people, has a serious shortage of medical and nursing personnel. Those available are principally concentrated in the Kathmandu valley, and outlying areas, with their poor communications, are seriously deficient in basic medical facilities. Diseases of dirt and poverty abound, so that tuberculosis, poliomyelitis, hookworm and other worm infestations, leprosy and chronic bronchitis, for example, are common problems. Infant mortality is high and is associated with a very high birth rate among the poor. There is no medical school as such in Nepal. The majority of doctors have qualified in India and many specialists have had their advanced training in the United Kingdom, possessing the FRCS, MRCP or other appropriate higher qualification.
