Binod’s Operation

Tuesday 17th March 2009

Another success story for Clinic Nepal!

From childhood Binod Bhusal born in Meghauli, Chitwan, suffered from recurring illnesses. Local medical personnel could find no explanation for this. In his teens he went to work in India to support his family, being the only son. However, due to further illness he lost his job and came home to Meghauli. Various doctors still could not find any explanation for his ill health. It was only when one doctor sent him to National Heart centre in Kathmandu for a check up, It was discovered that he had a hole in heart. He needed an operation.

By this time Binod was married and it was hard for both families to find money for surgery. Binod, with his family, went by bicycle for 3 hours to a Clinic Nepal run health camp at Madi. Here he was seen by Dr. Harbig from Germany, who was leading the health camp. Dr Harbig, through Clinic Nepal, paid for and arranged for the operation to take place with further contributions from the hospital and Binod’s family.

On 26th May 2009, Binod’s operation was successfully performed at Gangalal Heart Centre Kathmandu. By 6th June, Binod was feeling well, eating and drinking normally, even walking round the hospital garden, so he was discharged. A week later he had his stitches removed.

Now, with a pain free future to look forward to and increased strength and good health Binod is back in Meghauli with his wife who is pregnant with their first child.
