The GRG initiative remains committed to nurturing a new generation of researchers, promoting scientific excellence, and strengthening Nepal’s role in global health research. By investing in academic research and innovation, GTA Foundation seeks to drive evidence-based solutions that address public health challenges and improve healthcare systems worldwide.
