Summary

Introduction

Translational research is an advanced separate emerging research field. Despite tremendous development in the field of medicine, current research work is unable to justify effective medicine and healthcare against various diseases.[1] Several millions of immature deaths occur every year globally due to lack of effective medicine and healthcare.[2] In terms of Quality adjusted life year (QALY), the global burden of disease is increasing day by day.[3] time has come to start thinking on implementation science and to promote translational research in order to improve the quality of life. In the context of Nepal new federal healthcare system, the translational research is of utmost importance
