Nepal has recently seen an unprecedented surge in focus on women’s health, especially related to maternal and child health and uterine prolapse. Misconceptions about women's health, cultural biases, socioeconomic status, traditional values, illiteracy, poverty and low access of women in available facilities are widely believed to be the factors behind the poor health condition of women in Nepal.
During our regular health camps for uterine prolapse, we were often confronted with questions like “why do you people think that men do not have problem ”, after several such encounters we finally sat with the male stakeholders and ask them about their, surgical problems. To our surprise they told us that like women men too are suffering from surgical problems like hernia, hydrocele which has impacted the working potential of many men. Then we decided to conduct a camp for hernia, hydrocele together with that for uterine prolapse. To our surprise almost similar number of men were living with these condition as women with uterine prolapse. When we asked these men why they were not seeking surgical treatment, majority of the men that financial reasons were the major concern.
Then our hospital with the initiation of Dr. Bhim Nath Kharel decided to work on the surgical outreach program which aims to performing minor surgeries in camp settings. Our focus is in hernia, hydrocele, banding for haemorrhoids and minor breast procedures, together with basic surgical skills training program for the local health workers to improve their surgical skills.
We are presently looking for national and international partners or volunteers to work with us in implementing this surgical outreach program. Donations of surgical materials will also help us greatly.
We welcome your support, and like to thank your for your concern towards the health of needy Nepalese people.
