Article Submissions – Trailblazer #3

Have you ever paused and thought — “Is this really the right thing to do as a doctor?”

In the hospital, not everything is black and white.
From choosing who gets a ventilator, to respecting a patient’s decision you don’t agree with — the questions are tough, and the answers even tougher.

This year, Trailblazer #3 explores:
🩺 “Ethics in Medicine: Dilemmas, Perspectives and Decisions”

We’re inviting articles that dig into these gray zones of medicine.
Some topics you could explore:
▪️ Consent and autonomy in real-life settings
▪️ Where professional duty ends and personal values begin
▪️ Euthanasia, surrogacy, and abortion laws in Nepal
▪️ Pharma influence, migration, self-medication...
…and more that challenge how we think, choose, and act.

If you have something to say — backed by experience, curiosity, or even frustration — this is your space. Let your words carry your thoughts farther than the hospital walls.
Submit your work here:
https://forms.gle/byFoMvv7D1Cy8LGu9
🗓 Deadline: Bhadra 1, 2082
📩 Submissions are confidential.

Write from where it matters.
