INTRODUCTION
Alive Hospital and trauma centre (AHTC) is the first functioning trauma centre established in Nepal. AHTC is established by young dynamic doctors with an idea to help the needy people who bleed to death on the roads. AHTC is basically a 50 bedded hospital, located at Bharatpur height, aimed at trauma and physical disabilities.
Health facilities in Nepal are very few and most of them are located in the Kathmandu valley. The leading cause of death in Nepal are infectious disease like cholera, dairrhoea, influenza ,encephalitis and malaria ,but combining different types of accidents, it account for the number one cause of death in Nepal.
There are about 40,800 people living with physical disabilities and about 7800 people with multiple physical disabilities in Nepal. On an average there is only a single doctor for 18,500 people and there is only a single hospital for 2,300 people in Nepal.
There is a changing pattern of RTA in Nepal from low to high energy collision.But there is not a single center outside Kathmandu valley which can treat such catastrophe. We are the ones who are taking initiatives with full expertise and talent.
People have no access to health facilities due to various reasons like diverse geography, low socioeconomic condition, Illiteracy, lack of health facilities and personale. The consequences are simple diarrhea taking away the lives of many people.Simple infection of the bone changes into chronic, causing lifelong morbidity and even death of many people with fulminent infection.Simple fracture of the bone results in amputation of the limb or even death due to mismanagement at the initial hour and so on.
This can be prevented by providing health education to the people , establishing a well equipped hospital outside Kathmandu valley. But increasing transportation facilities, literacy rate and decreasing poverty are not possible at the time.
Keeping all these things in mind, we have established multidisciplinary hospital focusing trauma and physical disabilities at Chitwan district of Nepal. We extend our hands for any kind of help and support for the sake of those poor, helpless and needy people. People will be greatful to you and your help will be immortal.
