It was established in 1993 in Dharan, a city located in Sunsari district in eastern Nepal, and subsequently upgraded as an autonomous Health Sciences University on Oct 28, 1998.

B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, established in 1993 and upgraded to a university in 1998, is an autonomous health sciences university. Its goal is to meet the health needs of the eastern region of Nepal at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. BPKIHS is a self-governing body.
