Nepal Health and Research Council (NHRC) promotes research culture by facilitating communication between researchers and policymakers to translate evidence into health policies, programmes and practices. The Ninth National Summit is a continuum of the previous annual summits as an annual gathering of researchers, academicians, scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas and health research evidence on national health issues and priorities focusing translation of evidence and innovations into actions.
“Ninth National Summit of the Health and Population Scientists in Nepal” is one of the most comprehensive Summits of 2023.
The global environmental change including climate change, demographic change, urbanization and other emerging health issues such as non-communicable diseases, COVID-19 pandemic and frequent outbreak of diseases such as cholera, dengue and measles has highlighted the critical importance of generating contextually tailored evidence through high-quality research for health and their use in decision making thereby strengthening health systems resilience to tackle future pandemics, shocks and stressors to the system. Realizing these needs NHRC is going to host the Ninth National Summit with the theme “Research for Health: Translating Evidence and Innovation into Actions”.
