| Lalit with Kate in Kalikot hospital, Nepal (a typical Nepalese leaving ceremony!) |
Our first doctor-to-be was Lalit (se pictore on right): Lalit
was desperate to train as a doctor, but with the total tuition fees running towards £25,000 this was never more than
a dream.
He is just about to start his final year at Nepalgunj Medical college. he done exceptionally well throughout
his course and is looking forward to practicing rural medicine.

| Our new student Meena (started August 2011) |
Meena (see picture on left) is 20 years old. She
comes from one of the most deprived areas of Nepal. her father is a farmer, her mother uneducated and illiterate. She is the
first student to win the Doctors For Nepal full scholarship from Patan Academy Kathmandu (new rural medical school - see link
http://www.pahs.edu.np ). In return for her tuition fees (scholarship) being covered from Doctors For Nepal,
she will work in an isolated Nepal community for the following 4 years.
She says "It will be justice to my
villages when I can help improve healthcare in the rural area".
By donating to the charity now, you will be
supporting Meena, Lalit, and Nahakul's ongoing training, and thereby improving the healthcare of thousands of
Nepalese in rural areas.
