A new dimension opened by the friendship of two doctors

"As soon as I entered the hospital, there was a motorcycle in the parking lot, there were a lot of people rushing around inside the hospital, I just fell," Bed said. He says that he is very impressed by the work that doctors are doing even with limited resources. He came to Nepal after the cancellation of Bangladesh's swinging bed program in various developing countries of the world, especially to operate on children with cleft palate and cleft palate. Dr. Dinesh Koirala, a pediatric surgeon at the teaching hospital, invited him to visit Nepal and see the hospital here.

The two doctors got to know each other during the National Leadership Forum held in Australia. “During my stay here, I saw the surgeries performed by Dr. Koirala and the patients in the OPD. I was very impressed by the work being done by two surgeons at the teaching hospital," said Bed, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery for children. "What the doctors are doing with the resources available here is very admirable. We are looking forward to formally support the treatment system here.'

Motivated by his first visit to Nepal, he is planning to come to Nepal for surgery next time with the medical team of Queensland Hospital. Even when he was returning to Australia, he said that he wanted to come back to Nepal again.

Bed says that Queensland Hospital and Teaching Hospital will take the initiative to exchange the experience of doctors and health workers, including training. "As soon as I arrive in Australia, I will start working to support the pediatric surgeons here in more specialized training and studies," said Bede, "I will come soon with my colleagues to operate in Nepal."

Bed says that he was influenced by Nepal through the paper presented by Koirala at the National Leadership Forum about the work being done in the pediatric department as well as in the field of surgery at the Tertiary Teaching Hospital. "In spite of various challenges, doctors in Nepal are giving excellent results in that presentation, which encouraged me to come to Nepal and feel that," he said, "The hard work of the doctors and health workers here is giving me more motivation in my work, how lucky we are." It also made me feel that.'

Treating children is comparatively more challenging task because the small body has to be cut and treated, bed. "In Australia, there are specialist doctors for every disease and surgery even for children," he said, "Hand surgery is my specialty, but here one surgeon has to perform almost all types of surgery." We cannot even imagine that. Even in this case, giving high-quality results is not easy. That's why Bed says that he wants to help Nepal's expertise in the field of children's treatment.

'We are now going to start specialist training in pediatric surgery at the teaching hospital. In this case, we can produce better specialists with the help of doctors like Bed. Which is also our need,' says Koirala. He is optimistic that this will create a new dimension in the field of pediatric surgery in Nepal. "Currently, it is challenging to work with the kind of set-up in the field of pediatric surgery in the teaching hospital," said Koirala, "There is no separate operating room or post-operative ward according to the number of children who need to be operated on." It is not easy to bring the patient to the PICU and NICU.' According to

bed, if the problems seen in children's bodies are treated in time, they can be completely cured in most cases. "However, if it is not addressed in time, that small child may be disabled forever," he said, "I saw some such cases here." Which blew my mind. I want to help Nepal and the Nepali people with all my heart. Bed saw a patient in the OPD during his visit to the teaching hospital. The patient's leg bone tumor was surgically removed. But as the tumor grows again with the age of the child, he suggested that it would be more beneficial to place a rod in place of the bone. "But where we are, that is not possible," said Koirala, "the thought is whether such an impossible thing can be made possible in the future."
