Bishal, 28, is from Panchthar district, but he was born and raised in Sikkim, India. Life was never easy for him. When he was still very young, his father passed away. His mother, elderly and frequently ill, later returned to Nepal, leaving Bishal alone to survive on his own.

He began working in a factory in Sikkim, trying to build a life despite the odds. At the age of 24, he suddenly fainted at home. He visited a local healer who told him it was nothing serious—only that God was unhappy with him. After performing some rituals, Bishal felt better and believed the danger had passed.

But fate had other plans.

Seven months ago, while cooking, Bishal fainted again and fell into a wooden stove. His clothes caught fire, causing severe burns to both his hands and the back of his body. He was rushed to a local hospital and received initial treatment. He was also diagnosed with Seizure and started Medications. Afterward, he became bedridden and could no longer walk.

With hope that time would heal him, Bishal returned to Nepal to live with his mother. Sadly, his condition worsened. His palms began to curl and crumble due to burn contractures. Painful bed sores developed. With no money and no access to proper medical care, hospital treatment became impossible.

That’s when Mr. Sunil Khadka from DHERSEC Nepal learned about Bishal’s story. Moved by his suffering, he coordinated with doctors and managed to send Bishal to Kathmandu, to Sushma Koirala Memorial Hospital. There, Bishal underwent surgery for severe burn contracture of his hands. He stayed in the hospital for 43 long days.

After discharge, doctors advised daily physiotherapy and continuous bed sore management. But such services were nearly impossible to access in his remote village.

Once again, kindness stepped in.

Mr. Sunil requested our support—and today, Bishal is with us. We have begun his daily physiotherapy and wound management program. It is a long and painful journey, but for the first time in years, Bishal has hope.

We believe that in the coming days, he will walk again—and use his hands with dignity and independence.

Because sometimes, healing begins not with medicine alone, but with humanity, compassion, and the willingness to stand beside someone who has no one.

Technology is advancing every day, and without it, we cannot provide the best possible treatment.
When we learned that patients on ventilators cannot cough effectively — making them highly vulnerable to pneumonia and slowing their recovery in the ICU — we reached out to our partner organization, Stichting Care4Nepal. We requested their support to bring a specialized machine that could help our own Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital.

We are grateful for their support, and today we proudly handed over this important device to TUTH.

Save the date and time!! GlobalGiving’s GivingTuesday campaign starts on Tuesday December 2nd and you can help provide vital medications and medical supplies for patients at MeRO’s Shelter over the next twelve months for the duration of both their hospital and Shelter stay.
Help us raise US$10,000 which is approximately AU$15,000 to meet these costs. Once upon a time, we were able to provide with US$1000 a month for this purpose, but due to exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, the loss of a couple of significant donors, and provide initial funding for medical expenses to start patients medical journeys we have reduced this. Patients initial medical costs were harder for us to provide and sometimes there was a delay in starting patient assessment and medical care because hospitals will not provide credit, where as our longstanding pharmacy supplier is always flexible and is happy to provide interest-free credit for extended periods.
We will post the link when the campaign goes live!

Always proud to be part of a training program where we can share our experiences with young, energetic nurses.
In Nepal, every year hundreds of nurses graduate. They work in many institutions, but unfortunately, most do not receive proper training. There are countless training opportunities for doctors, with big sponsors and chances to travel around the world — but for many nurses, this remains beyond imagination.
Our dream is to provide specialized training for them so they can save lives with confidence and skill.

When you have support for wonderful organizations like Kathmandu Therapy CAMP we can conduct may trainings. And where you have partner organization like Stichting Care4Nepal and New Path Nepal in Nepal we can conduct hundreds of training . Thank you all for support and believe in us .

Even though we have large medical facilities in different regions and many illnesses are diagnosed on time, people often reach the hospital when things gets worse. The main reason behind this is financial hardship.

Muni, 28, is from eastern Nepal—a region where medical services are comparatively better than in many other parts of the country. She was diagnosed with a heart condition six years ago. During that time, she became pregnant, and the family did not return for follow-up checkups. She gave birth to a son and lived happily with her family for several years.

But a few months ago, her heart problems returned. She first visited a local hospital and was then referred to a larger facility. From there, she went to BPKISH Hospital in Dharan, where doctors again advised her to seek treatment in Kathmandu.

Muni’s husband works as a laborer and earns just enough to manage daily expenses. Traveling to Kathmandu with an empty pocket felt nearly impossible for them. That is when they met Mr. Sunil Khadka from DHERSEC Nepal.

Mr. Sunil contacted us and asked for help. We invited Muni and her husband to Kathmandu, and when we saw her condition, she was extremely unwell—so much so that she could not walk on her own. We immediately rushed her to the heart hospital and admitted her.

Doctors are now preparing to begin her surgery. But getting bed in Government hospital is like winning a war. It’s almost been 3 days she is in emergency waiting for bed. But thanks to the hospital and medical staffs, they are taking very good care of her.
Let us all pray for her recovery and hope she returns home healthy and strong.

Treatment for burn injury is very challenging. It takes lots of time and needs lots of resources. One of the materials we use for them is silicone tape. It is self-adhesive dressings that improve the appearance of scars by flattening and softening them, reducing redness and itching, and relieving discomfort.
May be rich people can offered it to buy but for them it’s beyond their imagination. Even doctors don’t advice to buy them. But here we provide them for free!!
