Make a Difference to Healthcare in Rural Nepal
Lalit, the first Doctors for Nepal student to graduate as a doctor in 2013, is dedicated to working in remote villages. Lalit is an excellent doctor but needs more training: 90% of rural hospitals in Nepal have no consultants and this lack of senior doctors is felt in these areas. Lalit is from a remote village and with doctors' pay in Nepal lowest amongst Asian countries, and postgraduate training costing $50,000 he cannot progress without our help. His education could save thousands of lives.
