NEPAL PROJECT GROUP
Nepal Project Introduction
Organization:
Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, the Kingdom of Nepal had been isolated from the outside world until fifty years ago when it opened its doors to a few select tourists. Today, tourism is a major source of foreign exchange and the Himalaya mountain range is the Mecca for trekkers and mountaineers.

Patan Hospital has retained the services of Dr. Bandana Sigdel, a pathologist trained at the Tribuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH). It appears that the pathology community in Nepal has matured to the point that its training program is graduating a sufficient number of pathologists to take care of the country’s need. Both Patan Hospital and TUTH still welcome visiting pathologists.
