Several peripheral sites in Nepal |

Kathmandu Model Hospital |
| Project: |
In Nepal, over 25% women in rural areas are estimated to be suffering from utero-vaginal prolapse (UVP). They have miserable, degraded life. Very few attempts have been made to decentralize provision of prolapse surgery to peripheral set-ups in remote hill districts to address this need.
There are no surgical services in the rural areas and the patients cannot afford to go to hospitals in the cities for economic reasons. Therefore, it is proposed that the curative surgical treatment will be provided on the spot to the patients with severe prolapse. A total of about 1,800 patients will benefit from this project in 3 years' time.
