British Military Hospital Dharan: surgical experience 1985-86.
The clinical experience of an army surgeon in a military hospital in East Nepal is discussed. The truly general nature of the work load is highlighted and the need for a broad based general training in surgery for such a task is well illustrated. A high degree of interdisciplinary cooperation was experienced and was indeed essential for good clinical practice. The health problems of a developing country are glimpsed. The severe limitations imposed on clinical practice as a consequence of limited facilities are particularly noteworthy.
