He noted that Bangladesh has emerged as a trusted destination for international medical students due to its quality education, extensive clinical training, affordable tuition fees, modern medical facilities with the use of technology, and internationally recognized degrees. He stated that the course curriculum and system of examination in Bangladesh is based on the Canadian system which is better than any other South Asian country. 

He added that the similarities in language and social environment of Bangladesh and Nepal makes Nepali students more comfortable in Bangladesh while pursuing higher education. 

He further emphasized that the students get the opportunity to examine varieties of diseases which ultimately gives them good clinical knowledge.
