I have been involved in developing innovative ways to address rural health care in Nepal and have been able to get some success too. I want to bring systems related innovations in rural health care for developing countries, thereby changing countless lives in the world.
Nepal
Quality health care even to poor people in rural areas of developing countries.
I completed my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from College of Medical Sciences, Kathmandu University, Nepal. I also received a Master of Science in Tropical Medicine from Mahidol University, Thailand. I have been working at Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital, as the Chief of the Department of Community Programmes. Through Dhulikhel Hospital, I have been extensively involved in developing and setting up community based health endeavors in rural Nepal. Organizing women through the microfinance and empowerment programs, training them in health issues, and then mobilizing them for community health programs has been one of my major successes, among a range of other novel approaches to rural health systems in the country. I believe that these projects may be very useful for rural health care applications in other developing countries as well. As the Coordinator of International Collaborations at Dhulikhel Hospital, I have been very involved in forging collaborations with various international institutions and have been engaged in setting up the hospital’s Institute of Global Health.
