Summary
The Mountain Fund has opened a new medical clinic in Thulo Syabru, Nepal. This project will establish a basic medical laboratory within the clinic.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The clinic will provide basic medical services to the residents of Thulo Syabru and surrounding villages in this remote region of Rasuwa district in Nepal. These communities suffer from health problems associated with crippling poverty, such as diarrhea, worm infestation, malnutrition, acute respiratory infections, and tuberculosis. A basic medical lab will have a significant positive impact on our ability to more accurately diagnose and treat these common ailments.
How will this project solve this problem?
* Renovate the facility (ceiling, walls, floor, and lighting) * Acquire furniture, equipment, and supplies * Install the new equipment * Support annual costs for one year
Potential Long Term Impact
Significantly enchanced capacity to serve critical health needs * Exams (blood, urine, stool, acid-fast bacillus, pregnancy, etc.) * Diagnosis (gastro-intestinal, anemia, kidney problems, diabetes) * Treatment (medicinal & educational)
Project Message
With this Clinic and laboratory, we are one crucial step closer to our goal of 3 clinics that triangulate this part of the Rasuwa District in Nepal, making health care available to thousands.
