Birat Medical College

Welcome to Birat Medical College

Birat Medical College (BMC) is a medical college in Biratnagar. BMC is the newest medical school in Nepal. Birat Medical College provides Medical Education, like MBBS college, HA college, and Staff Nurse college in Biratnagar. Established in 2014 as an extended program of Kathmandu University, BMC is now gearing up for its fifth intake. Each year, 75 national and international students join us to pursue their life-long passion and goals.

Even though BMC is relatively new, its history in the context of Nepal has been significant. Birat Medical College and Teaching Hospital, as we are now known, began with a single-bedded clinic in 1991. Dr Gyanendra Man Sing Karki, our chairman, has always been a visionary leader and a patriot of Nepal. Completing his MD with a specialty in Obstetrics and Oncological Gynecology from the former USSR, Dr. Karki always knew he wanted to contribute to the healthcare of Nepal. Even with vast opportunities presented to him around the world, he knew his dedication to his own people outweighed any materialistic gains. Dr. Karki has always believed that Nepal is more than just the capital and should be developed in its entirety, rather than centralising where gains are the greatest. It is with this belief in the need to decentralize healthcare that Dr. Karki, in 1993, moved to Biratnagar, a southeastern city of Nepal, where he started his private practice. Being able to provide a super-specialty service to a much-needed community helped a lot of people in need. What started as a single-bedded clinic turned into a 25-bedded Birat Nursing Home by 1994. Being one of the first private hospitals outside of the city, numerous patients not only benefitted from not having to travel to India or Kathmandu, but our center was able to provide healthcare services for neighboring Indian patients as well.
