Rheumatology Specialist Dr. Khatri Selected for EULAR-APLAR Exchange Program 2026

Dr. Pravin Khatri, a rheumatology specialist at Kathmandu Medical College, has been selected for the EULAR-APLAR Exchange Program 2026. Dr. Khatri will participate free of charge in the EULAR Annual Congress 2026, scheduled from June 3 to 6 in London, United Kingdom. He will receive a travel grant of 2,000 euros and an observational visit award of 1,000 euros as part of the program. Additionally, Dr. Khatri plans to present various research studies related to autoimmune diseases in Nepal.

Dr. Khatri’s selection came through his application to the program jointly organized by the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR). This program is expected to give him the opportunity to exchange expertise with specialist centers across Europe and enhance his knowledge of modern treatment methods. The initiative is regarded as a vital international exposure and educational collaboration opportunity for young rheumatology specialists from the Asia-Pacific region.
