    AbstractMedical practice is a noble profession that bears with it critical responsibilities on the practitioner and expectations from the public. Few studies originating from low-income countries like Nepal indicate a greater extent of dissatisfaction in relation to workload, financial and social circumstances among doctors leading to lower Quality of life. In addition, there has been a rise in doctor's migration to developed nations in aspire of better living standards and job satisfaction which has aggravated the already resource-constrained healthcare systems in those countries. This challenges both access and equity in healthcare. There are indications, based on first-hand experiences and the socio-political situation, that Quality of Life may be alarmingly poor among doctors working in Nepal. The first step towards a comprehensive effort to addressing this issue would be to carry out researches on doctors to gauge the scale and dimensions of the issue.
