About Us

BPKIHS was established on Jan 18, 1993, and upgraded as an autonomous Health Sciences University on Oct 28, 1998, with a mandate to develop socially responsible and competent health workforce, provide health care, and engage in innovative health research. The Institute, located in Eastern Nepal, extends its health services through the teaching district concept to Primary Health Care Centers, District Hospitals, and Zonal Hospitals in different districts of the region. It is named after Bisheshwar Prasad Koirala, Nepal's visionary leader in social uplifting and national integration.

This Institute is envisaged as one of the successful examples of Nepal-India co-operation. The Health Ministers of the two countries signed the Indo-Nepal agreement for the establishment of BPKIHS on the Hindu auspicious day of Mahashivaratri (Mar 10, 1994).
