With the increase in qualified potential, Medical Transcription (MT) Industry, comparatively a new business in Nepal employing thousands of youth, has gained popularity in Nepal’s bid to contribute to economic prosperity, according to experts.
MT is an IT-based industry for quality patient documentation and countries like Nepal are a very good locale for outsourcing workforce from here due to the availability of a large mass of English-speaking and computer-literate youth, the experts said on Thursday at a seminar organised by Nepmed International, a MT company in Kathmandu.
Speaking at the seminar, Cecily Tuladhar, executive manager of Nepmed said that as in the US the entire healthcare industry is based on insurance and detailed medical records are needed for processing insurance claims, Medical Transcriptions are in high demand there, and Nepal has immense potential to meet those requirements.
Gyanendra Tuladhar, chairman of the company spoke on the potential of the MT industry to contribute to the economic prosperity of Nepal by employing thousands of youth in a sector that requires little capital investment but yields high foreign currency returns.
He added, "We are here not to produce MTs but to generate future editors, supervisors, managers and potential MT business entrepreneurs."
Though exact data is not available, there are 8-10 MT centres, with 30-40 Medical Transcriptionists in each centre, in operation providing their service to their US-based clients।
