The sixth NRN Global Health Conference 2026 will be held in Janakpurdham, the capital of Madhesh Province, on December 4 and 5, 2026, corresponding to Mangsir 18 and 19, 2083, in the Nepali calendar. The conference will focus on ways to improve health services in Madhesh, a province described as lagging behind other provinces in the health sector, and will bring together the knowledge, skills, experience and networks of Nepali and Nepali-origin health professionals working abroad.
Conference to focus on Madhesh’s health services
The choice of Janakpurdham places the two-day event in the province whose health services will be at the centre of its discussions. The conference is intended to consider how health services in Madhesh can be improved, with the province’s position relative to other provinces providing the central context for the gathering.
The stated focus is on strengthening health services in Madhesh rather than on a single medical specialty or a specific programme. The conference will provide a setting for discussing the province’s health-sector challenges and considering how expertise and experience held by professionals abroad could contribute to addressing them. No detailed agenda or specific proposals have been announced in the information available about the event.
The province’s relative lag in the health sector makes the conference’s regional focus significant. By bringing the discussion to Janakpurdham, the event will direct attention to Madhesh and the question of how its health services can be improved. The conference’s stated aim is to draw on the abilities and connections of professionals working abroad in support of that conversation.
Bringing overseas expertise into the discussion
A central aim of the gathering is to bring together Nepali and Nepali-origin health professionals currently working abroad. The conference is expected to draw on their knowledge, skills and professional experience, as well as the networks they have built through their work. These resources are intended to inform discussions about the health sector in Madhesh.
The plan to convene professionals from abroad links the conference’s international reach with a specific provincial concern. Their experience and networks are identified as assets that can be brought into the discussion of improving health services. The conference will therefore serve as a platform for connecting those professionals with conversations focused on Madhesh, although details about participants, sessions and follow-up initiatives have not been provided.
The two-day meeting is scheduled for December 4 and 5, 2026. Its dates are also given as Mangsir 18 and 19, 2083 BS. The event will take place in Janakpurdham, the provincial capital, and will focus on how the knowledge, skills and experience of health professionals abroad can be brought together around the needs of Madhesh’s health sector.
With the sixth edition set for Janakpurdham, the conference will centre its discussions on a province identified as lagging behind others in health. Its stated purpose is to gather expertise and networks from Nepali and Nepali-origin health professionals working abroad and use that collective experience to explore ways to improve services in Madhesh. Further details about the programme have not been specified.
