Dr. Ram Suphal Ram

College Scholarship Program Alumna

NYF College Scholarship Alumna
Consultant Pediatrician, Udayapur District Hospital

Ram Suphal Ram grew up in Lahan, Siraha District, in a Dalit family facing deep financial hardship. His parents worked as farm laborers, and continuing his education beyond high school seemed nearly impossible. After passing his SLC exams, he moved to Kathmandu with community support and completed +2 Science through PDRC. While preparing for MBBS entrance exams, he learned about Nepal Youth Foundation and received an NYF College Scholarship for his MBBS studies at KIST Medical College from 2010 to 2013.

The scholarship made all the difference. “NYF helped cover my books, accommodation and food,” he shares. “It allowed me to focus on becoming the doctor I dreamed of becoming.”

After completing his MBBS, Ram Suphal served in a rural health center in Khotang and later passed the Public Service Commission exam to become a government medical officer. He went on to earn a full Government Scholarship for his MD in Pediatrics at BPKIHS Dharan. Today, he serves as a consultant pediatrician at Udayapur District Hospital.

Deeply committed to children from marginalized communities, he treats patients from low income families free of cost whenever possible and advocates for child health, education and rights. “I come from a background where opportunity was limited,” he says. “I want every child to have a chance to thrive.”

His hopes for Nepal’s future are clear: quality education for every child, stable governance, strong anti corruption systems and economic opportunities that uplift all communities.

To future leaders, he offers this advice: “Have a clear vision. Be honest and transparent. Stay motivated and always keep the wellbeing of children at the center.”

Dr. Ram Suphal Ram’s journey reflects NYF’s long standing belief that when a young person receives the support they need, they can rise to transform their community and the nation.
