This fellowship offers an unprecedented opportunity for Nepali public health professionals, psychologists, psychiatrists, and researchers. They can gain world-class training. They can also bring back innovative models. They will implement community-rooted mental health solutions.
It also complements national efforts like the National Mental Health Strategy (2077 B.S.) and aligns with SDG 3.4, which aims to reduce mental health burdens by 2030.
