Anaesthesia training in Nepal

JR Maltby, NB Rana, R Amatya and BM Shrestha

The background, organization, problems, and successful implementation of an anaesthesia training program in Nepal are described. Nepali physicians had previously taken their postgraduate anaesthesia training in western countries, especially in Britain. The low pay of anaesthetists, poor maintenance of equipment, and irregular supplies of anaesthetic drugs in their own country has led many of them to stay abroad. In 1985 there were only seven Nepali anaesthetists in Nepal for a population of 16 million. An alternative approach to training is presented in which a series of Canadian anaesthetists, over a three-year period, are supporting the establishment of a one-year Diploma in Anaesthesiology program in Nepal. They are working with Nepali anaesthetists and the Institute of Medicine in Kathmandu, Nepal. The local anaesthetists supervise most of the clinical training while the Canadians give academic leadership and guidance.
