German Nepal
Medical/Educational Cooperation: The organization of this project is in the hands of
the Nepalese Doc Madan Poudel (picture). This
project is international, everyone can take part! You'll be
able to get to know the Nepali country and its people and have
adventure experiences and fun together. But the basic idea of the
organizer is the hope of lasting support of colleagues to
take medical responsibility in Nepal after their study and build
a bridge between two completely different cultures.
Additionally, there is the
opportunity for different internships and volunteering,
for example in Nepali schools.
Since 2004,
Madan organizes regularly
clinical electives,
internships and volunteering abroad, so he is very
experienced in this field. Madan's Nepal initiative is very popular with
medical students
and extremely successful. The average
participation is about 20-30 students per trip. After 4 weeks of
clinigal elective in different hospitals in Kathmandu and
Pokhara, or joining various internships, the students have the
possibility to get to know the "real" Nepal by different
trekking tours and other touristic activities like rafting,
safari tours and cultural trips in the Kathmandu vally. Madan's brother Sushil supports and accompanies the students in
Nepal. He is a very nice guy and knows English and German very
well. He is the owner of a bilingual (german/english) [Trekking Agency] (Welcometreks)
in Pokhara and he offers several travel packages (trekking tours and other free time activities).
Notice:
If you consider to go trekking, you often
get unexpected problems such as sickness,
accomadation, weather, strikes and organisation. For your own safety it is better an
experienced, responsable and helpful local guide accompanies the trekking group,
a friendly guy like Purna. He is a licensed
Trekking Guide and we can recommend Purna warmly. [homepage Purna]Purna Thapamagar, licensed Trekking Guide
Purna offers a new trekking route: [Dolakha] an untouched and hidden mountain tourism destination
You can get any kind of
information about the clinical elective, internships and volunteering
directly from Madan Poudel (mailto, German or English) or in the[studiverzeichnis]too. Madan Poudel Studiverzeichnis "Mediziner
in/aus/nach Nepal"
Some clinical
elective reports in German: Amppipal(visiting the
hospital 9.-10. September 2004) Fewa City
Hospital(four weeks medical elective in Pokhara,
2004)
A clinical elective is also
possible by [Nepalmed] (mailto Nepalmed) in [Kathmandu Model Hospital] or in [Amp-Pipal]. The way to Amppipal (Amp Pipal) is not
easy to find, persons who consider to do a internship in Amppipal
should better take a Guide. Purna has already been in Amppipal and therefore he
knows the way. First you have to take the bus till Turture
(between Dumre and Besisahar) and from there, you have to walk in
3-4 hours up to the hospital. [homepage Purna]Purna Thapamagar, licensed Trekking Guide
