Follow-up of our projects
Kattike-Deurali emergency station:
To improve the care in this emergency station, hardly accessible, a doctor is now present 7 days of 7. In order to allow the doctor to make diagnosis this emergency station was equipped with a small medical laboratory and will be equipped with an X-ray. Currently the power supply to the emergency station is via the public single-phase network under 110 Volts. Power cuts, often lasting a week, are frequent. To operate a modern X-ray it takes three-phases with 380
Volts, which made us take the decision to install a 3 X 380 Volts power coupled to solar panels.
Project cost electricity: Approximately 25,000.00 Euros
Construction of the Gaurishankar Hospital in Charikot District Dolakha:
The old building badly damaged by earthquakes in 2015 was demolished. The construction of the new hospital began at the beginning of September 2017. An 18-month period is planned to accomplish this work.
Projects 2017
Construction work of the Gaurishankar Community General Hospital in Charikot in the district of Dolaka
The reconstruction is of prime importance, but we must not forget that a hospital cannot work without medical equipment and without a laboratory. Therefore we decided to buy the medical equipment that is necessary to put a molecular laboratory into place in the Microbiology Department of the Dhulikhel Hospital:
A biological safe for the treatment of samples, based on infectious material,
A freezer to store products that are required for later treatments,
A PCR in real time and a centrifugal PCR to analyse, on the basis of various specimens, and to identify the cause of certain infectious illnesses.
A CO2 incubator to grow bacteria.
A dry autoclave to sterilize contaminated laboratory waste
An analyser for urine examination
And for the Cardiology Department:
A stress test machine, (…) so the doctor can analyse the functionality of the heart
Expense of the project “Equipment”: 80 000, 00 €
Modernisation of the kitchen by adapting the building to hygienic norms and the installation of a dishwasher.
Dispatch of containers with hospital beds and other donations
Projects 2016
The DHOS (Dulikhel Hospital) has received the management of the Gaurishankar Community General Hospital in Charikot, in the district of Dolaka. The present building that was heavily damaged by earthquakes in 2015, is going to be entirely rebuild. This reconstruction will cost altogether, with the participation of the MAEE, 640 000, 00 €, spread over 3 years. The amount of NepaliMed’s share is about 210 000, 00 €.
During the construction work, treatments will take place in a neighbouring eye clinic, close to Gaurishankar Hospital.
In December 2016, the sum of 199 000, 00 € has been transmitted to the Dhulikel Hospital to start with the demolition work of the ancient building and with the construction of the new hospital. The operation has started in January 2017.
An anaesthesia station, an operating table, light for the operating room, a surgical vacuum cleaner, two screens for patients and a transportable incubator have been ordered from suppliers in December 2016 for the sum of 90 427,47 €. The import taxes and the value added tax will be paid in 2017, during the delivery of those devices.
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. The NGO AMU will support this project with 62 210, 65 €.
The station of Dhading has been reconstructed in 2016 and the construction work of the first aid station of Baluwa has started.
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.
2011
Purchase of medical equipment worth 17.000eur. including two surveillance monitors, an artificial respirator for the pediatric department,etc…

2013
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.
A second first-aid outpost will be financed by the donation of NepaliMed at the event of our 10th anniversary.
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 the hygiene program started by Charlotte in 2014-2014. Expansion of the hospital kitchen and purchase of an industrial dishwasher, an occasional table out of stainless steel and a Kärcher pressure washer with additional accessories.
Total cost of the project +- 21.000eur.
Since the number of patients is continuously rising every year, the number of meals to be prepared is as well. Therefore an expansion of the kitchen is inevitable. Until now, dishes are cleaned by hand and with cold water, hence not very sanitary.
Charlotte will go to Dhulikhel during the holidays to assist in this project.
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.
Projects 2015
Purchase of medical equipment in an amount of +- 100000eur., including a bedside monitor, bronchoscope, autoclave cycle for sterilization etc.
