A New Life for Mr. Krishna Prasad Bhattarai

Mr. Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, 60, from Taplejung in eastern Nepal, had been suffering from Neurofibromatosis since the age of 12. Socially devastated and psychologically depressed, he isolated himself from everyone, locking himself in his room due to fear, disgust, and ridicule from others.

Over the years, the tumor grew enormously, becoming a heavy burden that impacted every aspect of his life. When he came to Sushma Koirala Memorial (SKM) Hospital, our team planned a meticulous seven-hour surgery to remove the mass.

The surgery was a success, and an 11 kg tumor was removed. Following the procedure, Mr. Bhattarai shared, "I used to hate looking at myself in the mirror and nobody in my village talked to me, but now life is very different. My life has drastically changed after the surgery. I am extremely thankful to SKM Hospital for helping me. They have given me a completely new life."

Stories like Mr. Bhattarai’s highlight the transformative impact of medical expertise combined with compassionate care. Donations to SKM Hospital enable life-changing surgeries that restore dignity, confidence, and hope for patients and families who have long faced stigma and isolation.
