Abstract

Medical Humanities is a relatively new concept even in developed countries, and is at the infancy stage in low income countries like Nepal. Medical humanities modules in Nepal are being conducted in a few medical schools. Humanities have an essential role in medical education, the gap between the humanities and medicine has to be bridged and there should be continuous and vigorous debate about the theory and practice of medical humanities
