Abstract:The landscape of healthcare research in Nepal has changed significantly over the last three decades, bringing in many challenges. A roundtable discussions during the Britain-Nepal Academic Council (BNAC) Nepal Study Days in 2023 examined the following three current issues in health research in Nepal: i) the process and practice of ethical issues; ii) lack of validated and standardised research tools for data collection; and iii) researcher integrity and quality of research publications. This commentary explores these challenges in detail. It also suggests way forward in which the Nepal Health Research Council could play a leading role in addressing these issues through capacity building and resource development.
