Nepal Medical Association Objects to PhD Requirement for University Vice-Chancellor Positions

Kathmandu. The Nepal Medical Association has expressed serious objection to the government's recent provision requiring a minimum educational qualification of Doctorate (PhD) for appointments to high positions including university vice-chancellors.

Issuing a press release on Saturday, the association concluded that such a provision, brought by disregarding the specificity of the medical field and the existing educational structure, would be an injustice to senior professors.
