Dear Colleague,
   
  Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world,
with a per capita GDP of $240 per year and horrendous
maternal and child mortality. It is just emerging from
a civil war. The medical care sector is small and most
people have no access to doctors or nurses. I'm an emergency physician and
professor at B P Koirala Institute of Medical Sciences
in Dharan, the largest hospital and foremost health
professions university in the country. 

Our ED is very busy, filled with extremely sick, badly
injured and very poor people. We get very little
funding, as we are a government institution. We have
almost no equipment and no ambulances. I'm starting
programs to train emergency nurses, paramedics and
physicians and my trainees are bright and eager.

If any of you have any used but serviceable equipment
or supplies--even disposables like ambu bags, cervical collars, staplers,
etc--please contact me. Of course we could really use some outdated but
still functional monitors, oximeters, ultrasound machines, practically
anything. If anyone wants to volunteer helping these friendly, gentle people
and
training young professionals in a beautiful
subtropical landscape at the foot of the Himalayan
range, contact me. Thanks for your help.

Emergency and Critical Care Medicine


Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because it is right.
                       --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
