Dr Kate Yarrow - Founder, and Chairman of Trustees

| Dr Kate Yarrow in Nepal with some young patients |
Kate is a medical doctor in the UK, who founded
Doctors For Nepal after working with the large international charity Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors
Without Borders) in Nepal from 2006 to 2007. Having experienced first-hand the plight of the Nepalese in the neglected and
isolated far Western provinces, she felt compelled to try to continue improving the health care in these areas. She worked
closely with Lalit (our first student doctor) and strongly felt that he was the perfect first candidate to be the supported
by this charity. Kate hopes that by setting up Doctors For Nepal, communities will benefit from well trained doctors, and
that the donors in the UK will have an active interest and involvement in the development of health-care in rural Nepal.
