Introduction
In the mid-90s, a visionary group comprising renowned entrepreneurs, esteemed medical professionals, dedicated educationalists, and socially recognized individuals, under the aegis of Lord Buddha Educational Academy (LBEA), the parent company, came together with a shared realization—the imperative need for excellence in Nepal's medical sector to foster holistic national development. This realization was not confined to words alone; it took the form of proactive action with the establishment of Nepalgunj Medical College (NGMC) in 1996. NGMC was born from the collective determination and unwavering commitment of these visionaries, marking a pivotal moment in Nepal's medical education landscape.
The college offers various programs, including MBBS, BSc Nursing, and postgraduate MD/MS courses. NGMC is affiliated with Kathmandu University and has two well-equipped teaching hospitals, one with 550 beds in Kohalpur and another with 250 beds in Nepalgunj. The faculty consists of experienced and qualified professionals who are committed to providing excellent education. NGMC also invests in modern technology and infrastructure to enhance the learning experience. Guest lectures and seminars by experts in the field further enrich the academic environment.
NGMC's mission is to produce competent and compassionate healthcare professionals who can contribute to the betterment of society. We have garnered recognition from esteemed institutions such as the Government of Nepal, Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST), Medical Education Commission (MEC), Nepal Medical Council (NMC), and Kathmandu University (KU). Graduates of NGMC have demonstrated excellence in diverse arenas, achieving recognition both within the nation and on the global stage.
NGMC is a distinguished medical college in Nepal, renowned for its dedication to delivering high-quality education, esteemed faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities. Our primary aim is to cultivate proficient healthcare professionals capable of making a positive impact in the realm of medicine and healthcare.

Over the past 27 years, our institution's steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional medical education and top-tier healthcare services has yielded significant success.

Our resolute commitment to "Excellence in Medical Education" serves as our guiding motto, a creed upheld with dedication by our faculty, management, and students since the institution's inception. NGMC prides itself on possessing a rich pool of human resources, including a stellar assembly of highly qualified professionals in every department.
