Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
DOCTORS FOR NEPAL was founded by my friend and colleague, Dr Kate Yarrow, in 2008 after she returned from a mission to Nepal. She experienced the desperate medical need of the isolated communities who currently have to walk for days to reach even the most basic of medical care.
DOCTORS FOR NEPAL believes that by training students from rural areas, and by supporting Patan Academy, with it’s emphasis on community medicine, there is the opportunity to bring the medical care of rural areas nearer the standard expected by the urban population.
With less than 1 doctor per 100,000 population in much of Nepal, the need to train rural doctors cannot be emphasised enough. By supporting Doctors for Nepal, you will be not only changing the life of one student, but potentially helping to bring medical care to tens of thousands of patients in rural communities.
