Medical Services
Our partner hospital aims to serve the needy, marginalized and poor community of several districts in Nepal holistically through health, education and community development. It was born out of the vision of the children of one of the families of former bondage laborers belonging to the lowest caste system of Nepal whose five siblings had died untimely due to common and easily preventable diseases like Diarrhea or treatable conditions such as burns and fever. Our Life Center is staffed with local professionals - Physicians, Nurses, and other support staff. The Medical Life Center provides:
PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE
such as infectious disease treatment and chronic illness management
OUTPATIENT AND INPATIENT
chronic, infectious and palliative care patients
LAB/IMAGING
Labs, X-ray, Ultrasound Imaging
ENDOSCOPY AND OTHER EMERGENCY SURGERIES

The Background
Nepal is mostly known for its famous Himalayan Mountain range including the tallest mountain in the world, Mt Everest. About 75% of the country is covered by mountains. Nepal is the poorest country in South Asia and 17th poorest in the world and approximately 25% of Nepalis live below the poverty line. The rural unemployment rate is 42% and creates a sense of vulnerability and hopelessness in rural Nepal. Its transportation network is one of the worst in the world with few adequate roads and few motor vehicles. Its rail system is poorly developed.
Nepal’s social structures remain dominated by Hinduism. The caste system is technically illegal, but remains a strong influence and causes discrimination. The ‘untouchables’ or Dalits make up 14% of the population.
