Maharajgunj Medical Campus (MMC) located at Maharajgunj, Kathmandu is one of the 7 constituent campuses of the Institute of Medicine (IOM). Since its up-gradation to the status of a campus from the “Auxiliary Health Worker’s School” in 2029 BS (1972 AD), MMC has, during the span of five decades, played a significant role in conducting various academic programmes for the development of different categories of human resources for health in Nepal. Among various academic programmes that IOM runs currently, MMC conducts a total of 44 programmes consisting of 8 undergraduate, 25 postgraduate, and 11 higher-specialty/doctorate level programmes. Through these programmes, MMC produces competent and diverse human resources for health ranging from a primary healthcare worker to a medical specialist for rendering primary to tertiary healthcare services in the country. MMC has indeed taken a long stride in the field of medical education in Nepal. The establishment of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in 2039 BS (1983 AD) near to MMC premises, made the fact very clear that imparting medical education does require its own teaching hospital for facilitating teaching-learning activities effectively. With the establishment of TUTH, MMC acquired full status of the first medical school in Nepal. Since then, MMC not only became responsible for offering healthcare education but also started to provide tertiary healthcare to all those coming to TUTH.

The faculties of MMC since then have been playing a dual role – the first one is that of a healthcare science educator and the second one of a healthcare service provider. As of today, MMC has TUTH, BP Koirala Lions Center for Ophthalmic Studies (BPKLCOS) and Manmohan Cardiothoracic and Vascular Transplant Center (MCVTC) as its sites for the medical teaching-learning activities
