Even after passing the medical licensing exam, students are in confusion due to not receiving a registration number

Nepal Health News, Kathmandu – CD Bhusal, who returned to Nepal after completing his MBBS studies at Dali University in China, has expressed concern that his professional future is in limbo due to not receiving a medical registration certificate.

He submitted an application to the Nepal Medical Council, claiming that although he initially failed the 70th licensing examination in 2078 BS (Nepali calendar), he later passed the re-examination. Even though he received a certificate of success on official letterhead, he stated that he has not yet been issued a license number.

After failing the exam 14 times, Bhusal said he was able to take the re-exam due to the assistance and initiative of Milan Gyawali, an official at Speed International in Putalisadak. Although he claims to have passed the re-exam held on 28 Kartik 2081 BS, his name has not appeared on the Council's website, leaving him in confusion.

Bhusal said, “Gyawali Sir from Speed International filled out the application form for me and also gave me a pass letter on the Council’s letterhead. But even after repeatedly visiting the Council to get a registration number, the process did not move forward.”

According to him, Council Registrar Dr. Satish Dev had told him that he would “enter it into the system,” but later stopped answering calls and became unreachable.

The certificate Bhusal received bears the Council’s stamp and signature, but Registrar Dr. Dev has claimed that the certificate is fake. “Neither the name nor the roll number matches. Such a document cannot be issued by the Council,” Dr. Dev stated.

In connection to this case, it has been learned that the Nepal Medical Council has formally written to the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) for further investigation.

Bhusal stated, “If the certificate is official, I should be immediately registered as a doctor. If not, then those who used fake documents to deceive should be prosecuted.”

Meanwhile, Bhusal’s mother also acknowledged that they had sought Milan Gyawali’s help from Speed International for the re-exam. However, she said she was not aware of any financial transactions.

CD Bhusal’s complaint has raised serious questions about the transparency and procedures of the medical licensing examination. Since the matter is now under investigation by the CIB, the Council has stated that no further details will be made public at this time.
