摘要
Although critical care medicine has been established as a separate specialty in the rest of the world it is still in its initial stages of development in Nepal and intensive care units (ICUs) here are still in primitive stages. This article describes the history, the types and current status of ICUs, the challenges, and academic training and certification in critical care medicine in Nepal, compared with existing ICUs in other parts of the world.
