Nepal Update: Health Clinic in Wana
July 2, 2015
While in Wana, Journeys Nepal also successfully conducted a health clinic for villagers. Co-sponsored by the district health office and Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU in Michigan).
From Narayan: We examined 1,180 people and provided free medicine, ECG (50 ppl), ultrasound (190 ppl), x-rays (110 ppl), and paps (50 women). Thank you very much to all the doctors (the OB-Gyns, dermatologist, orthopedic surgeon, dentist, and general physician) and assistants who came from Kathmandu and the district hospital of Khandbari. Special thanks to Dr. Gupta Bahadur Shrestha (Medical Director of Helping Hands community Hospital and Chairman of district hospital, Sankhuwasabha Khandbari), Professor Marcia Shannon and SVSU family, David Shannon, Journeys international, and all the volunteers of Wana Youth Club and Wana School.
