Description
Against the backdrop of Nepal's complex history and geography, two individuals embarked on an extraordinary journey to address the pressing healthcare needs of its most isolated communities.
Nurse Ellen Findlay, with her vision and determination, joined forces with surgeon Mike Smith to pioneer outreach into remote mountain regions. For 25 years, they led surgical, medical, and dental camps that treated over 100,000 people in some of the country's most inaccessible areas during times of civil war and political upheaval.
Their efforts culminated in the establishment of specialist gynaecological and ear centres after the massive earthquake of 2015, providing ongoing treatment and training for Nepali clinicians. This remarkable story showcases their bravery, perseverance, and commitment to improving healthcare outcomes in some of the world's most challenging environments.
