Human Resources management
The hospital is run by a German surgeon and a German matron, supported by the German Centre for International Development and Migration (CIM), and by well-trained Nepali staff of more than 60, including nearly 10 doctors and more than 20 nurses. Foreign specialist doctors give medical backup for extreme cases and participate in the training of the hospital’s staff.
Financial and technical Sustainability
In order to increase the funds generated by the hospital, we introduced cosmetic surgery and other services aimed at Kathmandu middle and upper classes, expatriates and tourists. These revenues are used to counterbalance the cost of the hospital’s core services provided to the poor and needy people.
The foreign specialist doctors also participate in the training of our staff, as they try to transfer maximum knowledge during their stay in the hospital. We are currently building the capacities of our Nepalese staff so they can gradually assume more and more responsibilities in every aspect of running the hospital. We are also in close contact with medical education providers of the country in order to prepare qualified medical personnel in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Our hospital has a lot of equipment that needs maintenance by specialized technicians and engineers. Foreign engineers are training local technicians to maintain this equipment and it is anticipated that local staff will be able to keep up our facilities in the near future.
