The “Free Health Camp” is officially inaugurated and the name of the Foundation hangs above the entrance, carved in stone following the Nepalian tradition.

This project that received TFWA’s help consisted of the reconditioning of part of an existing building, in order to set up a medical centre in Katmandu, Nepal, especially vital after the devastation caused by the earthquake of April 2015.

People with economic difficulties have no access to medical care and a new free centre was a huge need. The number of beneficiaries is 1.200, the local community, orphans from the nearby orphanage and also the elderly people who live in the same house, on top of the clinic. The objective is to attend about 100 patients a week and for the centre to become self-sufficient thanks to the voluntary work of the doctors, the donations of medicines by pharmaceutical companies and the help from people who can afford to pay a little for their medical treatment.

The project has taken place from February 2016 until December 2016. As of September 2016, the centre is already functioning although not at its full capacity.
