31st BRINOS Nepal
Ear Camp
20-28th March 2006
The 31st BRINOS Ear Camp was undertaken successfully in
Nepalgunj. The visiting team comprised Robin Youngs, Nick
Stafford, Sangeeta Maini (surgeons), Ed Boys (anaesthetist),
Odette Ferrao, Eric Hughes, Adam Boys (theatre nurses) and
Adam Shulberg (hearing aid audiologist). They were joined
by local surgeons Kashi Raj Gyawali, Dinesh Mishra and Rita
Baksh.
During the course of the camp 82 major ear operations were
undertaken. During March 94 deaf people received hearing aids.
Support was given to the Community Ear Assistants.
The surgical work of the camp was greatly facilitated by
the generous donation of a full set of middle ear microsurgical
instruments by Karl Storz UK Ltd.
BRINOS is grateful to the administration and staff of Nepalgunj
Medical College for making facilities available essential
to the smooth running of the camp.
