Until the late of 20th century, health journalism in Nepal was limited, with information primarily shared orally by traditional healers, Vaidya and physicians. However, the rise of online and digital media has transformed the field, making it multifaceted and enabling faster, broader dissemination of health information through the internet, social media, and multimedia platforms. Since 2006/07, health journalism has gained importance, with the Health Journalist Forum Nepal, established in 2001, playing a significant role. Today, health journalism in Nepal uses print, radio, television, and digital media, with collaboration and authenticity in health reporting. The objective of this viewpoint is to explore historical development, current status, and future directions of health journalism in Nepal.
