Story

We desperately need your support to help us tackle the Covid disaster that is rapidly spreading across Nepal. There has been a 668% increase in cases over the last two weeks (Oxford university data tracking site) with us receiving frantic daily pleas for help from our friends and colleagues in Nepal. Dr. Kamal (one of our DFN doctors undertaking his internship in Kathmandu) says Our Health system has collapsed... hospitals cannot take patients because we dont have any life-saving Oxygen... we are helpless. An open border policy with India has lead to rapidly rising numbers of cases of the Indian Covid strain, and Nepals poor medical system and chaotic infrastructure are poorly placed to cope with this disaster. Patients are presenting to hospitals and health-posts by the hundreds, and they are ill-equipped to do anything other than mutter quiet words of hope. Without international support, many more thousands will die.
