BACKGROUND
The inception in modern information technology and science has made the world a global village within easy access to all the countries around the world. The developed countries in the West have massively capitalized on the new advances of science and technology and have improved the socio-economic and the quality of life of their people to a great extent that is inconceivable in the developing countries. Access to quality education, health care services, quality food, shelter and social security with the provision of all the necessary services, have become the essential needs of the common people in the developed countries whereas the very essential needs have become the exclusive privileges of the wealthy and affluent class in most of the developing countries. Access to quality health education and services as more than any other factor, has significantly improved the quality of life in the western world. The improvement in the quality of life has stemmed from a substantial public and private sectors investment on health education and services over a long period of time. It is universally recognized that until and unless a country can produce the high quality and adequate human health resources at various levels needed by the country, it is implausible to bring the intended qualitative improvement in the health sector. The production of high-quality human resources in health sector at various levels must be based on the need and priority of the country. The Government of Nepal, Ministry of Health and Population has committed themselves to raise the health status of the people of Nepal by pursuing universal coverage of health care in order to realize the objectives of Health for All which call for intersectoral coordination as well as active community participation. It is in this context that effective dissemination of relevant, sound and feasible nursing and public health measures are necessary in order to increase individual and community capabilities for active involvement and self-reliance in health sectors that will promote healthy behavior in regard to disease prevention and control. Thus, it has become essential through understanding of all relevant branches of health science with special emphasis on the most appropriate nursing health measures, a necessity for promoting individual, institutional and community involvement.
