About School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences - Manmohan Technical University
College Overview
The School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences (SMAHS) is a foundational constituent wing of the Manmohan Technical University (MTU), situated in Budhiganga, Morang. As the first technical university established by a provincial government in Nepal (Koshi Province), MTU represents a historic shift in the country's educational landscape. SMAHS was envisioned to address the critical shortage of skilled healthcare professionals in eastern Nepal and beyond by providing world-class technical education in the medical and paramedical sectors.
The institution is named in honor of the late Manmohan Adhikari, Nepal’s first democratically elected communist Prime Minister and a symbol of integrity. The history of the school is deeply rooted in the transition of the Manmohan Memorial Polytechnic into a full-fledged technical university, aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and industrial application. The mission of the School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences is to produce technically sound, ethically grounded, and socially responsible healthcare leaders who can thrive in both local and global health environments.
SMAHS stands out for its commitment to 'Learning by Doing.' Unlike traditional medical programs that focus heavily on rote memorization, the School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences programs emphasize clinical rotations, laboratory experimentation, and community health engagement from the early stages of the curriculum. This institutional highlight ensures that graduates are not just degree holders but competent practitioners ready for the workforce.
