Dear chicken little, Sorry for late in reply and appriciate your patriotism and hats off to your wish of making better and secure nepal. Thats the spirit all Nepali should have irrespective of living anywhere in the world. I am not doctors but I have some network of friends who are doctors and I have watched very closely their fall and rise in USA starting from their struggle to come up in life. Now comming to your query. "You sound like a knowledgable person and know about the doctors pretty well. I assume you are a doctor too. Its good to know that doctors abroad are uniting for development in health field" Not at all, Just had little idea so wanted to share with dear Sajhaite Nepalese fellow. professional but not in medical field.Every doctors wants to contribute in someway to Nepal.eg http://www.anmf.net/ "With your answers, I concluded, the Doctors produced in Nepal are more concerned about their betterment and self interest only by blaming upon the political and socioeconomic situation in Nepal" Not all doctors, dear, however 70-80% who studied in self finance and capitalist background are comming under your above statement. "I understand, some of the medical schools in Nepal are specifically targetted for that kind of products only" Your are absolutely right, except few gov medical institution, all private medical college falls under this category. some of medical institution does not even have proper infrastructure and gov has tried revoking their validation couple of times despite they are running because of political or palace connection.Hope in comming days, situation will improve. "Only those can study medical in Nepal who can spend approx NRs 1 million and most of the doctors( 80 % ) are self financed " "Its a shame that 80% of the rich can become doctors while other with better brains are forced to choose different path in the world with global shortage of medical professionals simply because thier parents did not have the 1 million rupees". And your realistic comment is worth million Thats the reason I have suggested bellow on my statement on my previous post "If we have a policy like qouta from every village ( 4300 VDC approx in Nepal) for the medical seat and mandatory service for that village, might help to cover wide geographics in Nepal. "Does it mean that you study medicine and become doctor and try to get back the money they have invested? Dear, I have already clarified, I am not doctors hence above statement does not imply on me. Regarding medical profession business? It is not supposed to be.Every doctors take oath saying they will keep the pateint interrest above all means. But does it happen in reality ? In USA itself,if gov does not have strict rules and regulation, it is one of the most lucrative never ending business. Else million of dollars law suit for doctors and pharma company would not have been filling every year. "How do you explain the loss incurred by Nepal because of thier migration " Oh! this brain drainage? it is not only country specific issue, it global phenomenon and it is growing alarmingly their by making the developed country more super power and developing country making more poorer. This need to be address globaly and probably UN should have some kind of resolution. But dear, if you stop this migration, they will complain about human rights and rights of living. And migration is considered as one of the key for the mankind evolution and development.The best way is to make Nepal better than USA hence reverse brain drainage starts and you know it very well how it is possible. "How much does a poor country like Nepal invests on a person to make him a doctor in private institutions and govt. supported college like Teaching Hospital" It is approx NRs 2.5 million if it is accounted till one becomes MD " All the best and thanks
