Alumni Testimonial
Here are several of our alumni.
“Four-year Undergraduate span was not only limited to theoretical knowledge, CDPH (Central Department of Public Health) had encouraged me for active participation in field practice, leadership, and various other associative activities. One-month Community Health Diagnosis in 2nd year, two-months District/Municipal health System Management in 3rd year and four months Comprehensive Public Health Practicum in final year is the learning environment that helps to translate our theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge and skills. I would like to highlight another pride thing for the students studying in this educational institution, students’ own umbrella organization NPHSS (Nepal Public Health Students’ Society), which has been raising voice and interests of every student studying under CDPH. Luckily, I had to an opportunity to lead this organization as a President for the tenure of one year which has played a huge role in my leadership skill development. I am grateful to all the respected teachers who has helped me to successfully complete my Bachelor’s Degree. If I had to share the best part of my journey in CDPH family, it is the mutual bonding between seniors and juniors. I wish for the betterment of CDPH in the future days and I am sure this institution will always prove to be the best academia to help to change the public health situation of the country.” — Janaki Pandey

“Since its establishment, my experience as students of Master in Public Health Nutrition (MPHN) in the Central Department of Public Health (CDPH) was terrific and memorable. It did not only advance my studies and knowledge, but it gave me exposure to cosmopolitan culture, the opportunity to make friends from various corners. The Public Health Nutrition Program at CDPH is truly intellectually exciting and experiential. The outstanding curriculum and seasoned faculty members provided me a comprehensive knowledge of nutrition programs and policies. They had well-trained me to be very independent and act beyond my boundaries. I got opportunities to participate in a myriad of workshops, seminars, and fieldwork, provided hands-on experience. Additionally, it encouraged me to look at things from various perspectives, strengthening my analytical and leadership skills. It allows me to pursue a field that I am interested in, making it easier for me to unleash my potential. I would say that the student-faculties relationship makes CDPH a great place to begin your academic career. I thank CDPH fraternities for putting in all the efforts to groom us and make me professional. MPHN” — Ashish Timalsina

“It’s my fortune to enroll in MHPE as the first batch of CDPH. Center Department of Public Health (CDPH) aims to produce quality and skill-full public health graduates. As a student of Masters of Health Promotion and Education, CDPH had provided us an immense opportunity to learn about various aspects like IEC development, curriculum development, action research, practicum, different theories and model for social behavior change, and others specific health promotion and education-related activities. CDPH provides a very personalized, friendly, supportive and vibrant environment for students that help to develop the best professional career I am happy to be a part of it.
