2014
The last year has been marked by a great loss for all of us. The passing of our dear friend and member of the administration council, Mme Charlotte Pfeiffer-Quaring left a great void for all who loved her and knew her well.
During the latest general assembly, two new members were unanimously elected to reinforce the council: Mme Charlotte Godzwieski and Mr Egide Urbain, who already distinguished themselves in the past by their relentless commitment.
The volunteer charter, signed by president Claus Lampertz underlines the importance to our association of the voluntary aspect of our work. We`re are not paying salaries, nor rent and administration fees are limited to a strict minimum, namely 1.244,23eur., for the purchase of stamps, paper, envelopes, insurance fees and formation fees.
Our participation in different markets and the organization of various events allowed us to collect a total of 3.703,30 eur.

Purchase of medical stuff: With the help of the Luxemburgish government we were able to purchase a brilliancy amplifier for the orthopedic department, 10 lead aprons, 3 halothane nebulizer, 3 isoflurane nebulizer and 3 surgical aspirators.
From the month of august, our young and dynamic volunteering dietician Charlotte will go back to Nepal at the request of the Dhulikhel Hospital . She will stay for 1 year to arrange a dietary service, to train the staff, to improve the overall hygiene and hold classes for the students at the medical institute. The costs for her stay will be split. Dhulikhel Hospital will offer an accommodation and pay the visa fee. NepaliMed will contribute the plane ticket, the additional risk insurance and a little pocket money. We are still looking for sponsors who help us finance this project and support this young woman during her one year volunteering work.
Shipment of a container with medical equipment. A few are donations of Luxemburgish doctors and hospitals. We are very grateful for their help. Purchase of material and devices to equip the emergency department. The number of emergency patients keeps rising, therefore the extension of this service was necessary.
Members of the Grand Duchy Ardennes and Nepalimed assisted in the inauguration of the first-aid outpost in Kattike-Deurali. Of course the travel costs are entirely paid by the participants.
Kattike-Deurali is an 8hr walk away from Dhulikhel. Until now, people in need of medical attention had to wait for a doctor to come by once a week to offer his service at an improvised premise. Kattike Deurali is a village counting 5000 inhabitants and is situated at an altitude of 1500m in one of the most distant regions of Kavre and Ramechhap.
Follow-up of our projects
Action pour un Monde Uni (AMU) Luxembourg has collected funds for Nepal after an earthquake in 2015. They joined NepaliMed Luxembourg to repair the remote first aid station of Dhading and to reconstruct and equip the remote first aid station of Baluwa, two other projects of the DHOS.
The total cost is about 362 210, 65 €, spread over 3 years. Project financed by the Luxembourg Ministry of Humanitarian Aid with a contribution of 62 210,65 € from the NGO AMU
The station of Dhading (Chattere Deurali) reconstructed in 2016. The Baluwa health post put into service as planned in 2017. The inauguration in the presence of representatives of the AMU and NepaliMed Luxembourg took place on 15 November 2018.
Projects 2015
Purchase of medical equipment in an amount of +- 100 000 Euro, including a bedside monitor, bronchoscope, autoclave cycle for sterilization etc.
A shipment of sewing machines for women who want to start their own small business and medical equipment, all in perfect working order. We thank all our donors.
Follow-up of the hygiene program started by Charlotte in 2013-2014, the number of patients and of daily meals have noticing increased, thus a kitchen enlargement was necessary.
For the moment, dishes are hand washed with cold water, thus not sanitarily. We have planned to extend the kitchen and to buy an industrial dishwasher with a stainless steel side table. Following the 2015 earthquake, the kitchen-modernizing project had to be postponed to 2017.
Kattike-Deurali emergency station:
To improve the care in this emergency station, hardly accessible, a doctor is now present 7 days of 7. The local power supply of the health post was below single phase 110 Volts and was often cut off for up to a week. It was reinforced by a 3x380 Volts supply coupled with solar panels. The 3 x 380 Volt solar panel power supply works correctly and ensures, among other things, the functioning of the X-ray
