IPPNW-Students NepalThe Nepalese students have been very active in past years putting together the IPPNW student e-zine called e-pulse, which provides medical students all over the world with information about IPPNW and current events. They have also organized local seminars in Kathmandu, for example the National Health Student Seminar on May 28th or seminars on socio-medical impact of certain diseases and have put together a proposal for a student project on Brain Drain, which would need to be thought out some more. Also, Nepalese students have played a major role during the NWIP delegation to Pakistan and will continue with their involvement in this project in the future. On August 6th, a Target X was organized in Kathmandu and an interactive program on Ayurvedic medicine is planned. The students cooperate with the Nepalese Health Student Society and the Pharmaceutical students of Nepal. They seem to receive adequate support from the Nepalese doctors and have participated not only in the World Congress in Beijing, but also in the Indian and South Asian Conferences in Hyderabad and Patna. They held the South Asian Student Conference in Nepal in February of 2006 as well as a one-day seminar on Privatization of Medical Education in Nepal.
