why is this phd important for me (my career, organization or country) ?
My understanding of the intricate dynamics of medicine availability and affordability will be significantly improved by the completion of my PhD in health policy and systems research. Advanced research skills will be acquired, which are essential for the creation of innovative solutions to health challenges. With this knowledge, I am now positioned as a public health thought leader, which has the potential to lead and advise international health organizations at a higher level.
Ph.D. allows me to make a meaningful contribution to the development of more equitable health policies in Nepal. By concentrating on critical voids in our healthcare system, such as the affordability and availability of anti-diabetic medications, I can contribute to their resolution. This research could improve Nepal's overall public health outcomes by informing policies that guarantee equitable access to necessary medications, particularly for marginalized communities.
