Gorkha is the district which was the most badly hit by the earthquake on 25 April 2015. We decided to set up a camp in this district to see again the numerous victims of the earthquake who had been operated on either by us or in a Kathmandu hospital.<\/p>\n
As always, our days were very full. Even if the total number of patients operated on was a bit less than usual, they were mostly major operations on adults.<\/p>\n
Several patients with traumatic problems following the earthquake required surgical treatment. We were able to help every patient who requested a consultation and who needed a particular treatment.<\/p>\n
Afterwards we went to the district of Mohattari in the Terai, more specifically to the village of Gorahanna to conduct a two day camp: medical, dental and orthopaedic screening of the population. This village, on the Indian frontier, is extremely poor. More than a thousand patients received consultations: 495 patients a medical consultation, 238 patients an orthopedic consultation, 187 patients a dental consultation (of which 69 were treated) and 149 ultrasounds on pregnant women or patients with abdominal problems. Patients who needed it were directed to hospitals in neighbouring towns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
