Madan Bhandari Academy of Health Sciences

What Madan Bhandari Academy of Health Sciences does

Madan Bhandari Academy of Health Sciences (MBAHS) is a government-run health sciences academic institution located in Hetauda, Bagmati Province, Nepal, operating under the administrative oversight of the Bagmati Province Government's Ministry of Social Development. The academy functions as an integrated academic medical center, offering a portfolio of undergraduate programs (MBBS, B.Sc Nursing, B.Sc Lab Medicine, B.Pharmacy, BPH), postgraduate specialty programs (MD/MS in Surgery, Internal Medicine, MDGP, Pathology, Ophthalmology, Paediatrics, Radiology, Orthopedics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, ENT, M.Pharma, MPH), and a vocational Anesthesia Technician Training Course. Degree programs are offered under academic affiliation with Tribhuvan University's Institute of Medicine, and clinical training is delivered through Hetauda Hospital, which has recently begun specialist cardiac services to expand the teaching case mix.

The institution's core outputs are educational and clinical rather than commercial technology products. Its research output is channeled through the Nepal Journal of Health Sciences, and its governance is led by Vice Chancellor Dr. Pradip Gyanwali (appointed 2081-06-18) and Dean Prof. Dr. Dinesh Kumar Lamsal (appointed 2081-11-12), supported by a Chief Administrative Officer and an IT/Information Officer. The academy also publishes regular administrative notices — examination schedules, result publications, contract-service recruitment, and canteen/financial bids — reflecting active, ongoing institutional operations through at least 2083 of the Nepali calendar.

MBAHS's business model is a dual-track public financing structure typical of Nepali provincial academic institutions. Revenue is sourced from Bagmati Province Government budget allocations and from tuition paid on a dual-seat basis: free or subsidized seats (निशुल्क) alongside fee-paying seats (सःशुल्क) for undergraduate programs including BPH, B.Pharmacy, Lab Medicine, and Nursing, with tuition collected in installments. The academy also operates hospital services through Hetauda Hospital. Marketing is conducted primarily through the official website (mbahs.edu.np) and government announcements, and distribution is direct enrollment at the single Hetauda campus. The institution is regulated by the Medical Education Commission and operates within the policy framework of the national Ministry of Health and Population.
