54th BRINOS Ear Camp, Nepalgunj, Nepal

From 9th - 17th November 2014


The overseas team included doctors and nurses from the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, The John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford and Gloucester Royal Infirmary. The Nepali surgeon came from Kathmandu. The Local BRINOS Community Ear Care Assistants, screened the patients and were responsible for the post op care. This camp treated many patients from the remote far West of Nepal.

The camp ran very smoothly in our new temporary home whilst awaiting the completion of the new hospital. We performed 110 “major ear” operations. These included repairing perforated ear drums, mastoid surgery and one case of replacing the 3rd bone of hearing (stapedectomy).


Three operating tables were running simultaneously, two for local anaesthetic cases and one for general anaesthetic cases. We were also delighted to receive funding from the Oxford/Bucks BAHA users group, and the Reading Runners and Mr Chris Blue. Funds were also raised by a sterling effort from Alison Wrigley.
