A statement released by the Prime Minister's Office states that a committee chaired by member of National Planning Commission with education, finance and health secretaries as members to develop an action plan of the policy in next 30 days.

The report has suggested decentralising medical colleges, setting up new entry standards for medical courses, and fee structures, among others. Putting a moratorium on new medical schools in Kathmandu Valley, the committee has asked the government to relocate the institutions that have already built infrastructure for medical education even if by purchasing their property.

The Prime Minister’s Office had formed the committee on November 17, 2014 to draft the policy in response to one of Dr Govinda KC´s demands that a panel, comprising experts from the medical sector, be formed to formulate a national medical education policy.

Following Dr KC’s demand, affiliations to medical colleges was stopped till a new health policy is drafted based on the recommendation of the Dr Kedar Bhakta Mathema -led Committee.
