Nepalese Education in E-health – Master (NEEM) targets the shortage of specialists in health information systems in Nepal through establishing two master programmes at Kathmandu University and Pokhara University. Each programme will admit 10 students the first year and expand to 20 over a two years period. The programmes will include a lab where research students will collaborate with the Ministry of Health and other Nepalese organisations on health information systems in Nepal and which be developed into a model for the Provincial Health Information Hubs envisaged by the MoH. The labs will also be used for in-service training of health personnel.
NEEM has received funding from the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme Capacity-Building projects in the field of Higher Education under grant agreement No 101083048
Master or PhD students at the University of Oslo can apply for an exchange visit to the Nepali partners for doing research in collaboration with the Nepali researchers. Please contact one of the project participants for more information.
