Our Beginnings

Since its inception in 2023, the PAHS Chapter has shared neurosurgery insights and engages in local initiatives, such as health camps and awareness programs. It empowers students to contribute to Nepal’s medical knowledge through research training.

Community Driven

The PAHS Chapter puts boots on the ground—organizing health screenings, sanitation drives, and free medication distribution in underserved areas. In one recent camp alone, over 150 individuals received early detection, consultations, and essential support for chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.

Empowering the Next Generation

By involving medical students directly in outreach and research, the chapter transforms education into action. Through mentorship, training, and hands-on opportunities, students learn how to bring neuroscience to life—both in clinics and in communities.
