UNYSAN-medical in conversation with PM

admin — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:01:36 +0000

United Nations Youth and Student Association Nepal- Medical is a chapter of United Nations Youth and Student Association Nepal which is a network of national and international medical students. Established in 2006, this organization has nine thousand students studying in over 18 college in Nepal and more than 3000 Nepal students studying in other countries. Nepal medical students have made historical performances in international platforms like World Health Organization, UNO and other organizations in the field of the medicine. As one of the poorest country in the world there are more than 45% of people below the line of poverty. Because of a very complicated geographical condition of Nepal, the rural health condition is very critical. Medical students are really worried to hear about the deaths of people from remote areas due to unavailability of timely health services. We would also like to inform you that, if our country creates the appropriate scenario, we, medical students have great passion and are ready to devote our life to serve rural people. So in order to produce real community oriented doctors to serve the people of Nepal, the government should present with commitment and create situations that will enhance the performance of the students.

1). Ministry of health under government of Nepal and different governmental organization must have a student chapter and students must be stimulated for national service and health service through their full participation in different programmer.
2). Many problems are arising these days due to poor patient doctor relationship, in such condition government of Nepal must improve doctor patient relation via different workshops and program for the students.
3). Due to establishment of various colleges that are more business oriented than service oriented the students and the people in rural areas have to face the brunt of it. So government must formulate and apply a law that makes health services available for rural people
4). Medical student must not only be given place in programs coordinated by ministry but rather be allocated with specific duties.
5) Since medical students are continuously going abroad, the government must initiate and change the syllabus of the medical science to make the students realize the true situation of health in the rural area of Nepal.
6). There must be a simulations of health organizations in Nepal and this must be initiated by the people. For example UN model, WHO model. In other countries simulations of the health system are initiated by the students and the ministry.
7). Health system must be rural oriented rather than urban oriented, all the health facilities must be people oriented.

All the above mentioned points, in the time of globalization, have already been implemented by the students of developed country with help from their respective government. We, Nepal medical student feel that we lag behind due to lack of support and encouragement from the government. Our UNYSAN central directory board’s only aim of life is to serve poor Nepalese people and extend the limits of the rural health facilities and to help Nepalese student realize the importance of health system. We target to go to every remote village of Nepal to aid and bandage the wounds of our Nepali brothers and sisters and hear their call for help. Attached with such an ideology we want to serve our country and we want the government to act in these points as soon as possible. We will only be content when we will be able to raise the level of our country and take it to the top.

This document consists of the important points of the original document handed to the Prime Mister.

Prime minister’s response:
He realized the absence of an organization that binds all the medical student, till date. The prime minister was really happy and congratulated us for our achievement. The PM appreciated the rural oriented approach of the medical students and took that in a positive node and committed that the country would help as much as possible. He also asked to form a work group that have the representations from the related ministry and medical students that will work in changing the syllabus of the medical science and make it rural oriented. He also made sure that from now on the medical students will be involved in policy making and planning in the health sectors so that all the demand of the medical students will be met. He mentioned that these action will be implemented as soon as possible.

United Nations Youth and Student Association Nepal – UNYSAN (http://www.unyouth.org/) is organizing a talk program on

Youth Voice for Environment

Youth voice, in its authentic form, allows students to identify issues and be the drivers of action to address them. Young people will become the leaders of tomorrow, and therefore it’s important to nurture student voice and engage youth, providing them with the necessary skills to identify issues and put together strategies for dealing with and ultimately acting upon these issues. Encouraging students to work together and actively participate in decision making processes is key to their development as environmental citizens and stewards. Finding their ‘voice’ empowers and prepares them for the environmental and social challenges that their generation will be responsible for now and in future.
