Dhulikhel Hospital follows the principles of social equity and gives high priority to community-based activities. Within the span of 21 years, it has set an example of noteworthy progress in health services and health sciences education that can be achieved in rural areas of Nepal.
The health services system of Nepal faces myriads of challenges. The Department of Community Programs and Public Health attempts to address the health issues in different rural areas in Nepal through a holistic approach, quality service delivery, rational community-based methods, innovative public health interventions, and
effective partnership programs. These are enhanced by proper monitoring, evaluation, and quality control measures. All the departments and academic programs of the institute are involved in the community programs in their respective ways. Hence, the department also acts as a coordinating unit for all such programs.

The multidimensional nature of health demands a holistic approach in order to address the health problems and issues in the community which will help to uplift the health status of the people. Realizing these needs, the department was initiated and has been working holistically to improve the health status of people in various rural areas of Nepal.
