Foreword by Overall Chairperson

Dear Wonderful People,

With enormous excitement and utmost pleasure, I would like to welcome

you all to the 31st EAMSC- 2018, Nepal. A cool insight to the diverse

culture and hospitality in the lap of Himalayas; a country of Mount

Everest, Lord Buddha, Brave Gurkha’s, diverse culture and heritage, city

of temples, and a common garden of peace and harmony.

You will be staying in this small yet beautiful country enjoying different food and culture, bonding new

friendship, exploring nature and heritages and learning something important about the theme of our

conference “Maternal and Neonatal Health”. No matter how much we advance in medicine and research, a

woman has to give birth to a child- a divine power women are gifted with. Even though we have advanced

methods of maternal care like antenatal care visits, vitamins, iron, calcium, precautions with diseases and

delivery methods like vacuum delivery, caesarian section, test tube baby etc., still every pregnancy is at

risk. Every new born starve to get that first gasp of breath. No matter how well trained and experienced

you are, you will hold your breath to listen that first cry of the baby and see the very smile on the mother’s

face forgetting all the pain she went through. I think we all need to know about this fact and learn about

this never ending process.

In this conference, we will be learning about this magical process of growing from a single cell into a

complete being, the skills and techniques, new inventions, risks associated with it and challenges in the

coming days. The conference will be a different experience for you as we are working for it, days and

night to make it a wonderful program. I am thankful to AMSA family for providing us this opportunity to

host you. We will stand strong on your faith on us.

Finally, it would be pleasure to see all the cheerful and enthusiastic people in our country to make this pro-

gram a successful one with your active participation.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Santosh Upadhyaya

Foreword by Regional Chairperson

Dear delegates,

Namaste

It’s my pleasure to say Hello! as the Regional Chairperson of AMSA Nepal.

It’s been quite a long time that I have been involved in activities of AMSA

Nepal. AMSA Nepal has been conducting various activities and is one of the

leading organization that has been continuously working in different health

related issues.

Although it’s a first experience for our country to organize EAMSC but I can assure you that, with the experi-

ence that our delegates have during their participation in international conferences of AMSA, we will leave no

stone unturned to make this venture a successful one.

As the theme for EAMSC 2018 Nepal is “Maternal and neonatal health”, we will be having various interactive

classes regarding this issue. I hope at the end of the conference you all will have broader perspective regarding

the various aspects of maternal and neonatal health. Poor health of mother and neonate is the common scenario

faced by most of the Asian countries, so by the end of the program all the delegates will have ideas that would

help in the upliftment of health issues regarding mother and child.

We all know that Nepal is a country which is blessed with natural scenicbeauty. For all the participants,

it’sgoing to be a new experience, you will have many wonderful memories which you aregoing tocherish

throughout your life. As a delegate, you will recognize three themes of AMSA- Action, Friendship, and

knowledge-without a word. Looking forward to see you in Nepal.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Sahil Thapaliya

Introduction to EAMSC-2018

EAMSC is a biannual conference hosted by various cities around East Asia. At its inception, it aims to in-

spire delegates to become active in the amelioration of global healthcare problems through networking

with other medical students from the East Asian region. More recently, it has expanded to involve dele-

gates from all AMSA-International chapters allowing the exchange of ideas, knowledge and cultural un-

derstanding.

The EAMSC continues to inspire medical students to analyze global health issues more closely and to uti-

lize the role of medical students in the promotion of public health. It challenges students to think beyond

what is learnt at university through various academic and cultural activities which explore a nominated

conference theme.

East-Asian Medical Students' Conference (EAMSC) 2018 Nepal "Maternal and Neonatal Health":

EAMSC 2018 is being held in Nepal, hosted by AMSA-Nepal. Around 400 medical students from Asia

and Asia-pacific will be attending the program. The program will allow the exchange of ideas, knowledge

and cultural understanding between the participating members. The EAMSC held in Nepal on 2018 will

take on the maternal and child health as its main theme.

Being a mother is the happiest moment for any women and her family. But with conception and pregnancy

that follows, exposes mothers to a lot of hazards and risks. Thus, even coming to this modern era of tech-

nology, majority of birthing are traditional in practice especially in developing country like Nepal.

Maternal health is the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It encom-

passes the health care dimensions of family planning, preconception, prenatal, and postnatal care in order

to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. Majority of death of mothers during pregnancy is due to un-

safe abortion, infection, severe bleeding, labor complication; which all can be avoided. Thus, even in this

present day, maternal health remains a hot topic. So, as safe motherhood is a fundamental right, we being

medical students need to contribute to it. Many further topics of maternal health can be addressed such as

Safe motherhood

Family planning

Abortion care

Qualifications

Food : Nepalese Cuisine combines a range of ingredients,

techniques and characteristics from its neighboring countries with its

own gastronomic history having “daal bhat” as the primary food. Set

against the backdrop of the Himalayas, the people of Nepal have

many different backgrounds and ethnicities, and this multitude of

influences is reflected within the country’s cuisine. Nepalese dishes

are generally healthier than most other South Asian cuisine, relying

less on using fats and more on chunky vegetables, lean meats, pickled

ingredients and salads. Nepal’s geographical setting, has maintained a

focus on using locally grown produce “Daal Bhaat”.

Mo:mo are usually accompanied by one or two dips, often with a

tomato base or fermented vegetables. Condiments in Nepal are

sometimes quite spicy, and often contain raw chili and garlic. Similar

to the Gyoza found in Japan, Mo:mo are also consumed in parts of

India, Bhutan and Tibet, and are a very popular snack. There are some

interesting variants of Mo:mo, with fillings involving cheese (paneer

or chhurpi) or potato or chicken.

Sel roti is a cross between a doughnut and a bagel, but sel roti is

actually made of rice flour and is like no other bread in the world.

A crispy and sweet outer surface gives way to a puffy and

soft-textured dough.

If Nepal had a national dish,“Daal Bhaat” would be it.

Mo:mo are Nepal’s version of dumplings.

All Nepalese Festivals complete `with ‘SEL ROTI.’

EVENTS

Keynote Lectures Internationally, increasing attention has been concen-

trated on reducing maternal and neonatal mortality,

acknowledging the tragedy of not preventing these

avoidable deaths, which include 36,000 women annu-

ally in the 12 countries in the region of East and

South-East Asia (ESEA). The lectures will be pre-

sented by professors and experts on the topics related

to maternal and neonatal health which include epide-

miology, statistics, problems of maternal and neonatal

health and their management. The participants are

expected to become well aware of the various aspects

of maternal and child health, their complications and

management. This gives an overview of the situation

of maternal and newborn health in the Asia region,

with a focus on mortality and the interventions re-

quired to save women’s and newborn’s lives. This

differs in some aspects from a discussion of general

maternal and newborn health program which may be

implemented in more developed countries.

Scientific Paper Presentation

The participants will present research conducted on

topics related to “Maternal and Neonatal Health”. The

abstracts will be collected from each chapter. Top 8

papers will be presented in the conference and the

best will be awarded based on selection by the judges.

The research articles will be published in the journal

of AMSA (J-AMSA).

Poster presentation Posters based on scientific research will be presented.

As in scientific paper presentation, poster will be

evaluated and top 8 posters will be presented in the

conference. During the conference, the posters will be

evaluated by the panel of judges and the best poster

will be awarded. Scientific paper and poster competi-

tion is expected to gather studies from different re-

gions of the world at one place and motivate the stu-

dents to get involved in research activities.

Photography competition

Capturing memories and learning through, it is one

of the best ideas. Delegates from different chapters

will have to submit their photographs related to the

theme. Top 50 photographs will be selected by the

OCs and judges and they will be displayed during

the conference. The best photograph will be awarded

based on voting by the delegates. All the delegates

can participate and one participant cannot submit

more than 2 photographs.

Academic workshop

We will be trained by professionals to enhance med-

ical skills in managing maternal and neonatal health

related problems. Participants are expected to en-

hance their knowledge on maternal and neonatal

health. There will be a plenary session for problem

solving in collaboration with WHO. Each group will

be given a case to handle and they will have to pro-

vide a plan of management. There will be mediators

to guide participants in every group. The best group

will be awarded.

Community service

Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHVs)

have been the spearhead for the progress Nepal has

made in the field of Maternal Health. We will have

active interaction with FCHVs of the community.

We will be assessing the status of individual houses.

We will head towards health posts and sub health

posts around Kathmandu valley and neighboring vil-

lages. Interaction programs will be conducted to

share ideas and also learn from about the valuable

experiences of FCHVs regarding the challenges,

problems and their probable solutions. Also, the del-

egates can share their ideas, which may even help

the FCHVs to view the problem from an entirely

different perspective. Through FCHVs the delegates

can get a peek about Nepalese community and learn

about the strength, weakness, challenges and prob-

lems that the community members face every day.

Also, the delegates will come to learn about the local

health system at the community level runs.

problems while dealing with problems related to

maternal and pediatric health. They will be taken to

different wards of the hospital to observe the health

care system of tertiary health care center.

Whitepaper and Video competition

tition which will focus on our

theme. Each chapter will have to

submit the whitepapers on the

basis of which they will be

shortlisted. Video should be submitted during reg-

istration at the conference. Videos presented will

give us entertainment and knowledge at the same

time. The final winners will be selected after the

Cultural Workshop

The aim of the cultural workshop is to introduce the

delegates to the unique and diverse variety of

Nepalese tradition and culture. The delegates can try

some famous Nepalese cuisines, some famous

Nepalese fast foods, engage themselves in Nepalese

traditional handicrafts and try Nepalese traditional

costumes of various ethnic groups (there are 113 different ethnic groups in Nepal who speak 93 different lan-

guages). Delegates will be taught different traditional skills like Thanka painting, Mo:Mo, Traditional Nepa-

lese Mud – Pottery, Traditional dance and music.

Culture Booth:

The delegates from different chapters of AMSA would be

given opportunity to showcase the culture and tradition of

their country. The delegates can dress up in their traditional

costumes and share their traditional drinks and cuisines, arts

and crafts. It will be a great cultural exchange program. You

will travel all around the world in the small confined space

of the cultural booth.

Cultural Performances:

Legends state that dances in this country originated in the abode

of Lord Shiva — the Himalayas, where he performed

the tandava dance. This indicates that dance traditions of Nepal

are very ancient and unique. With altitudes and ethnicity, the

dances of Nepal slightly change in style as well as in

the costumes.

Accompanying music and musical instruments change in tune

with the themes, which revolve around topics like harvesting of

crops, marriage rites, war stories, a lonely girl’s yearning for her love, and several other themes and stories

from everyday life in the villages. In the opening and the closing ceremonies; the delegates will be greeted

with Nepalese traditional dances and songs which will give you insight to traditional Nepalese culture.

OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

Health care services in Nepal are provided by both the public and the private sector. Different health posts,

primary health centers, district, regional and tertiary hospitals are the centers which provide health facilities.

The system was first introduced according to the General Health Plan in 1956 and has subsequently been ex-

panded with a focus on primary health care and the development of a comprehensive network-like Health

System; the most basic unit is a Health Post in each Village Development Committee area. The Government

recently introduced a Health Policy encouraging the private sector to invest in the education of health work-

ers and in providing quality health services. As a result, several private health institutions have been founded

and are expected to contribute to the development of the human resources required by Nepal.

OUR MEDICAL EDUCATION

There are many medical schools in Nepal offering a course length of about 5 and half years but this period

can differ depending on each university. The education system is divided into two tiers. The 1st two years

comprise of a basic science education while the latter 3 and half years are focused on clinical practice.

GEOGRAPHY

Nepal is located in South Asia, between China in the north and India in the south, east and west. The total

land area is 147,181 sq. km. Nepal falls in the temperate zone north of the Tropic of Cancer. Nepal’s ecolog-

ical zones run east to west about 800 km along its Himalayan axis, 150 to 250 km north to south, and is ver-

tically intersected by numerous river systems. The country can be divided into three main geographical re-

gions: Himalayan region, mid hill region and Terai region. The highest point in the country is Mt. Everest

(8,848 m) while the lowest point is in the Terai plains of Kechana Kalan in Jhapa (60 m).

TRANSPORTATION

Kathmandu has easy way of transportation through cab/taxi. Taxi rates are standardized. A standardized taxi

meter, located on the front part of the deck calculates the fare by distance. You can catch the cab on road or

call by some app (eddy cab).

Public transportation is also available through low line busses, micro busses or electric three-wheeler in all

the routes. However it might be difficult for people visiting Nepal for the first time to get the hang of the var-

ious routes provided by the public transport vehicles.

SIM card

During the stay of EAMSC-2018, we recommend delegates to purchase SIM card, which will give you

access to mobile internet and stay in contact with your friends and group manager. There are two telecom

companies in Nepal, NTC and Ncell. The detail information about the sim cards will be provided by the

GMs after registration is closed.

Good to know facts

When visiting monasteries or temples, avoid smoking and remove your shoes, hat and leather items before

you enter. Note that some temples are closed for non-Hindu.

Electricity

Electricity is 220v/50 cycles. Sockets usually take plugs with three pins sometimes two pins the small vari-

ety and sometimes the large ones. It is advised to carry travel adapter for the stay.

Weather

Climate of Nepal varies from one place to another in accordance with the geographical features. In the

north summers are cool and winters severely cold, while in the south summers are tropical and winters are

mild. Nepal has five major seasons: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter. An average temperature

drop of 6°C occurs for every 1,000 m gain in altitude. The valley of Kathmandu has a pleasant climate

with winter temperature of 2°C – 12°C.

Money

Paper notes are in the denominations of rupees 5, 10, 20, 50, 100,500 1000. While the coins are available

in rupees 1 & 2 denominations.

An interesting fact is that there is no seasonal

constraint on traveling in and through Nepal.

LANGUAGE

Nepali is predominant in Nepal. However it is not difficult to get around Nepal as most of the Nepalese

people have basic knowledge of English. In most of the shops, restaurants, tourist attractions, a sign is giv-

en in English as well as in the official language.
