The Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu, in collaboration with the Bangladesh Private Medical College Association (BPMCA), organized the Bangladesh Medical Education Fair–2026 in Kathmandu to promote medical education opportunities in Bangladesh among Nepali students.

Twenty private medical colleges from Bangladesh participated, providing information on admissions, curriculum, tuition fees, scholarships, and student life.

During the inauguration, the Ambassador of Bangladesh to Nepal highlighted the long-standing friendly relations between Bangladesh and Nepal and underscored the growing cooperation between the two countries in the field of education, particularly medical education.

He noted that Bangladesh has emerged as a trusted destination for international medical students due to its quality education, extensive clinical training, affordable tuition fees, modern medical facilities with the use of technology, and internationally recognized degrees. He stated that the course curriculum and system of examination in Bangladesh is based on the Canadian system which is better than any other South Asian country. 

He added that the similarities in language and social environment of Bangladesh and Nepal makes Nepali students more comfortable in Bangladesh while pursuing higher education. 

He further emphasized that the students get the opportunity to examine varieties of diseases which ultimately gives them good clinical knowledge. 

He pointed out that a significant number of Nepali doctors have received medical education from Bangladesh and are making valuable contributions to Nepal’s healthcare sector. Especially, the quality of post-graduate doctors is best and it’s valued all over the world. The Ambassador reiterated the Embassy’s commitment to promoting educational cooperation and enhancing people-to-people connectivity between the two friendly countries.

The fair attracted over 500 Nepali students, offering a direct platform for interaction with college representatives. On the sidelines, the BPMCA delegation met Dr. Bikash Devkota, Secretary (Health), Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal and Acting Chairman of the Nepal Medical Council.
