Message From President
Dear Colleagues and Friends
It is an honour and privilege for me to welcome you all to the GPEMAN ( General Practice and Emergency Medicine Association of Nepal ).
We pay tribute to all General Practitioners, Emergency Physicians and other colleagues who died of COVID-19 during the pandemic while on the duty of managing patients with COVID-19. These lost lives are a great reminder of the dedication of GPs, Emergency Physicians and colleagues.
We are proud to say that MD GP&EM is the first ever postgraduate degree started in Nepal in 1982 in cooperation with Institute of Medicine of Nepal and Calgary University, Canada.
GP&EM fellows have been working hard and successfully since its first batch to this date in rural hospitals with challenging infrastructure, scarce manpower and equipment, urban hospitals and different departments of the Ministry of Health as well as abroad.
We owe huge respect to all seniors and colleagues who have brought our GPEMAN to this date in spite of enduring challenges and obstacles.
