This academy provides medical service in the Karnali Province which is considered to be lagging behind in health facilities. It runs the government owned Karnali Zonal hospital in Jumla district.[1]

In December 2021, a post graduate course was started by the academy. The teaching facility has capacity of 50 students per year. As per the government rules, 45% of the seats is reserved for the students from Jumla, Humla, Dolpa, Kalikot, Mugu, Jajarkot, Bajura, Bajhang and Achham districts.[2] The 300 bed teaching hospital at Jumla was completed in 2017 but remained closed due to lack of equipment and medical professionals.[3] [4]
