NHEDF aims to provide better healthcare to those in need and with limited financial means through the provision of better healthcare equipment. We achieve this by recycling donated equipment as well as investing in new items through the funds received from donors. NHEDF provides the equipment individuals or institutions free of charge or at a reduced cost, depending on accessories or needed repairs. The equipment is used in diagnosing issues, providing therapy, treatment and monitoring for better results and more efficient rehabilitation. Surgery, medicinal care, housing and more: Beyond the provision of healthcare equipment we supply our patients with essential surgeries, medicinal products and psychological assistance through the help of our qualified and trained staff of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, counsellors, and medical consultants. The affordable physiotherapy services that we provide to the Kathmandu community work to reduce disabilities following surgery that can be avoided through proper treatment and follow-up care. Medical care and services provided include: - Physiotherapy - Medical rounds (twice a day) - Nursing Care (24 hours a day) - Psychosocial Counseling (Individual and Group) - Health Promotion Activities - Assisted Transport Service for patients ( + caretaker) requiring follow-up - Total # of beds for patients: 15 NHEDF services are free of charge: Patients are provided all the medicines and care needed without cost to them or their families. Both patients and their caretakers are provided housing, breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner on a daily basis. In order to keep our services at no cost to the patient or their family, NHEDF greatly depends on the support of private individuals.
