    A new anaesthesia training program in Nepal, established with Canadian support, addresses a critical shortage of local anaesthetists. This initiative aims to improve healthcare by training physicians within Nepal, overcoming barriers to international training.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Anaesthesiology Training

    Background:

    • Significant shortage of anaesthetists in Nepal, with only seven for 16 million people in 1985.
    • Nepali physicians previously sought postgraduate anaesthesia training abroad, often remaining overseas due to domestic challenges.
    • Challenges in Nepal included low pay for anaesthetists, poor equipment maintenance, and irregular drug supplies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the establishment and successful implementation of an anaesthesia training program in Nepal.
    • To present an alternative model for postgraduate anaesthesia education within Nepal.
    • To address the critical deficit of qualified anaesthetists in the country.

    Main Methods:

    • Collaboration between Canadian anaesthetists and the Institute of Medicine in Kathmandu.

  • A three-year period of support from visiting Canadian anaesthetists.
  • Supervision of clinical training by local Nepali anaesthetists.
  • Academic leadership and guidance provided by Canadian counterparts.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful establishment of a one-year Diploma in Anaesthesiology program.
    • Strengthened collaboration between Nepali and Canadian anaesthetists.
    • Development of local capacity for anaesthesia training.
    • Improved prospects for retaining trained anaesthetists within Nepal.

    Conclusions:

    • The collaborative training model effectively addresses the shortage of anaesthetists in Nepal.
    • The program provides a sustainable solution for anaesthesia education within the country.
    • This initiative enhances the quality of healthcare by increasing the local pool of anaesthesia specialists.
