Doctors´ Meeting in Dhulikhel, Kathmandu/Nepal
Date: Febr. 27, 2012:
After a journey with lovely views of the Himalayan eight-thousanders, our KHCP team arrived at Dhulikhel Hospital near Namo Buddha. We were warmly welcomed by the administrative staff and invited to the doctors’ cafeteria for sustenance.
After that, Dr. Ram’s doctors and heads of the departments showed us around all the departments of the hospital. We had a lively exchange of information about the various activities of both sides.
In the end, our team had a meeting with Dr. Ram Sheestra (founder and director of the hospital). In recognition of the great collaboration (volunteer doctors for our KHCP medical camps, surgeries etc.), the KHCP directors handed over to him a donation of 10,000 € for the installation of a large emergency power generator (100 kilowatts) for the childbirth department. The emergency generator is supposed to provide a better backup during the frequent power failures in this region. This also complies with the wish of H.H. Gyalwa Karmapa to help the local population.
In the future, Dhulikhel hospital will carry out a large part of the KHCP activities here in Nepal (in collaboration with Western KHCP doctors).
