## **Achievements and Performance during year 2021/22:** 

Nepal was worst affected by the Delta variant of COVID in the early part of this financial year. So, most of our educational activities could be started only towards December. The focus this year had been help Nepal fight COVID infection. We concentrated mostly in providing much needed oxygen concentrators and ventilation equipment to Nepal. We worked with likeminded organisations like Nepalese Doctor’s Association, America Nepal Medical Foundation, various NHS trusts, So the Child May Live and BAPIO. We raised fund, collected equipment, and transported to various hospitals and health institutes in Nepal. In total during this pandemic, we distributed goods worth £150,000. 

**1. Oxygen Plant in COVID Hospital:** We teamed up with ANMF and NDA to provide oxygen plant to a purpose built COVID Hospital in Balaju, Kathmandu (Fig 1 & 2). This was run by Nepal army. We raised and donated £10,000 towards this cause. After COVID pandemic, this facility was decommissioned, and the oxygen plant was transferred to Children’s Hospital in Damak. 

**2. Model Hospital Support:** With ‘So the Child May Live’ charity, we supported Model Hospital in Kathmandu (Fig 3) with Oxygen Concentrators, BiPaP and CPaP machines for use in poor patients with COVID in Kathmandu.

**3. Lumbini Hospital Support:** Lumbini Hospital, although a zonal hospital, was not getting adequate support from the government at that time. With the help of BAPIO and other organisations in the UK, we were able to send 40 Oxygen concentrators directly from manufacturers in China to Lumbini Hospital in Nepal (Fig 4). 

**4. COVID Help:** We also supported many peripheral hospitals in Nepal during this time. There was a lack of oxygen supply and patients were suffering. We supplied oxygen concentrators (Fig 5 &6) to hospitals and health posts in Malangawa, Salyan, Rukum, Okhaldhunga, Dhading, Pyuthan, Trishuli, and Darbung. In addition, working with the NDA, we supplied (Fig 7) various ventilatory equipment to TU Teaching Hospital, Trauma Centre and Nepal Critical Care Society for use in very sick patients.
