Sunsari, October 15

Newly-appointed Rector Professor Guru Prasad Khanal at BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, today said BPKIHS would accord top priority to research work.

Assuming the post of the rector at BPKIHS today, Khanal said that the institution would manage separate dean to speed up research work. Every year, research on more than 300 diseases and treatment systems is being done at the institution.

Khanal pledged to collaborate with department heads and other officials to end perversion prevailing in academics.

He claimed to make all academic programmes and examinations transparent and fair. “I will focus on controlling bad practices prevalent in the institute to make health education effective and produce quality medical doctors,” Khanal added.
