Why Choose Hospital-Level Care at Home?

Healing feels different when you are surrounded by family, comfort, and familiarity. Hospital-level care at home brings professional medical support directly to your doorstep while allowing patients to stay where they feel safest — at home.

Benefits of Hospital Care at Home:

* Comfortable and peaceful environment for faster emotional recovery
* Reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections
* Personalized one-to-one care and attention
* Less stress for elderly patients and children
* Family can stay close and involved in the healing journey
* Saves repeated travel and hospital stay expenses
* ICU setup, oxygen support, nursing care, physiotherapy, and medical equipment available at home
* Better dignity and quality of life for long-term patients

For many families, home becomes more than a place to stay — it becomes a place to heal with love, care, and dignity.

Because sometimes the best medicine is not only treatment… but being close to the people who care for you most.

Updates on Sugat!!

After consultations with the plastic surgeon, Department oral and maxillofacial surjury and anesthesia team, we finally managed to remove 6 teeth from Sugat. It was a very challenging procedure, but thankfully it became successful without any blood loss from the tumor.

Many of you may wonder why you keep seeing the same patient on our page again and again. Why do we help the same patient multiple times?

When patients come to our shelter, we treat them as our own family. A medical journey is never a small or simple journey — one problem often leads to another. The same thing happened with Sugat. Along with his rare condition, he faced multiple medical challenges over time.

For us, helping does not end with just one treatment or one surgery. Standing beside them through every difficult step, tackling every new challenge we can, and guiding them toward a better life is always our priority.

A New Journey of Mr Min at age 70!!!

For 70 years, Mr.Min moved through the streets of Lamjung by crawling.
His hands were twisted, his legs crumpled, and every road was a challenge. Life passed slowly on the ground, watching the world move faster than him.

Then one day, something unbelievable happened.
He received a machine that could carry him with dignity.

To him, it felt like something from another world — powerful, strange, and beautiful. A machine he never imagined he would touch in his lifetime. Now, at the age of 70, he is learning a new skill: how to control this “monster,” which is slowly becoming his closest friend.

When we first heard Mr. Min story, we knew a normal wheelchair would not be enough. We thought about converting a wheelchair into an electric one, but it was expensive and difficult to maintain in rural Nepal. So we searched for another solution — something strong, practical, locally repairable, and built specially for him.

With the support and knowledge of the team from Dhersec Dharan, we designed this durable mobility machine according to his body measurements and daily needs.

Today, seeing him move independently, smiling while learning to ride through the same streets where he once crawled, reminds us that dignity is not a luxury. Sometimes, humanity begins with simply helping someone move forward.

A very special thanks goes to Lee Williams. Without his support, sponsorship, and motivation to help, this dream would never have become possible.

New challenge for Sugat!!

Many years back, we supported Sugat through a very difficult surgery to remove a rare tumor inside his mouth. It was a rare case of hemangioma, a condition involving abnormal blood vessels. During the surgery, because of severe blood loss, doctors could not remove the entire tumor and advised the family to wait until Sugat became older for further treatment.

Today, Sugat is facing another painful challenge. His teeth are causing him severe pain and he now urgently needs tooth extraction. But for Sugat, even a simple dental procedure is not simple at all. Due to the tumor and risk of heavy bleeding, every step must be taken with extreme precaution. A team involving surgeons, tumor specialists, and dentists is now working together carefully for his treatment.

With the support of Joining Hands For A Change, we have finally started Sugat’s treatment process with multiple specialists.

Special thanks to Dr. Surendra Basnet for taking the lead in Sugat’s care and guiding this difficult journey with dedication and compassion. We truly appreciate your support and kindness.

Please keep Sugat in your prayers as he begins another difficult battle in life.

Journey Completed, Smiles Returned !!

A thank you note from Our Chairman!!

Life is unpredictable—anything can happen at any time. Twelve years ago, I began my social welfare journey with a simple but powerful hope - to serve the community. I knew the path would be difficult, but I also believed it was not impossible. Since then, I have dedicated my life to this mission. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping more than 1,600 patients, offering not just treatment, but hope and a chance at a better life. I have always seen them as my family, and I have done everything I could to make their lives a little easier. Somewhere along this journey, a quiet thought stayed with me—that if something ever happened to me, would there would be people who would stand beside me. A month ago, that belief was tested.

In early April I was diagnosed with a bowel obstruction and admitted to the hospital. Because I was surrounded by a team of doctors I knew and trusted, the diagnosis happened quickly. But the news was heavy—I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. For a moment, I was overwhelmed. I knew the road ahead would be physically, emotionally, and financially challenging. But I was not alone. My doctor friends from TeamSARC stood by me, ensuring that my treatment and surgery was smooth and well-coordinated. At the same time, my extended family from Australia and the Netherlands came together and started a crowdfunding campaign. Within no time, they raised the support I needed. In that moment, I truly realized something profound— In these 12 years, I didn’t just serve people… I built a family.

I had my surgery, have started on six months of chemotherapy and must have another surgery to reverse my stoma when the doctors say so. I need to take some time to recover but I get updated daily by video call with Devendra and he with the rest of Team MeRO is running everything and our work continues as it always does.

Thank you for helping me during this difficult time. My family and I really appreciate what you have done and how you have changed our lives by preventing us from falling into debt.

With grateful thanks,
Samrat Basnet
Director of Medical Rehabilitation Organisation (MeRO)

More Than Medical Care, It’s Human Care!!!

Kathmandu is a big city. If you do not know anyone here, you can easily feel lost and alone. But sadly, this is also the only place in Nepal where many critically ill patients can receive proper treatment. For families fighting cancer and other life-threatening diseases, coming to Kathmandu is not a choice — it is their only hope.

Imagine leaving your home with a small child in your arms, carrying only a little money in your pocket, while worrying about how to survive in an unfamiliar city. One chemotherapy session costs a huge amount. Then comes radiotherapy, multiple tests, medicines, room rent, food, and endless hospital visits. Everything happens at the same time.

And for mothers, the struggle becomes even harder. Feeding their child, managing milk and supplements, while silently fighting fear and exhaustion every single day.

This is why, during the most difficult phase of their lives, doctors remember us and call our team for support. This is where we step in. Even when we ourselves are struggling, we try our best to make everything run smoothly for these families.

Our responsibility is not only towards the patient. We also carry responsibility for the family standing beside them. We cannot imagine a mother, father, or caretaker sleeping with an empty stomach while their loved one fights for life inside the hospital.

Sometimes humanity is not about doing something big. Sometimes it is simply making sure that no family feels alone during the darkest chapter of their life.

We are extremely saddened by the health issues of our chairman. However, as the diagnosis was done on time, he is getting better day by day.

In early April, Our Director, Samrat, was admitted to hospital with a bowel obstruction. Investigations revealed a cancerous tumour in his large bowel and he underwent successful surgery. He spent 24 hours in ICU, was transferred to the ward the next day, and was discharged several days later. Unfortunately, the biopsy showed infiltration into two lymph nodes, so he requires six cycles of chemotherapy over the next six months. Knowing Samrat, he will then be up and running full speed ahead as soon as he recovers from the chemo and is no longer immunocompromised.
Without Samrat, there would be no MeRO. As you would be aware, MeRO is, and always has been, Samrat’s full-time, unpaid job. This was made possible because his wife, Sajina became the breadwinner of the family. Sadly, she lost her job when USAID operations in Nepal collapsed in early 2025. Since they, they have had no income and have been living on savings as Sajina has been unable to find another job.
When we heard this news, we knew we had to do something. Without financial support Samrat would become just like many of MeRO’s patients and would incur a significant medical debt. A GoFundMe campaign was set up specifically to raise funds to cover the cost of his treatment. It had nothing to do with Roads to Rehab Nepal as he did not fulfil the criteria to be treated as a patient. We also collaborated with Stichting Care4Nepal in the Netherlands who also help fund MeRO’s work.
The amazing generosity of people who responded to the GoFundMe campaign resulted in donations . This should be used to pay Samrat’s current medical bills, cover the cost of another abdominal surgery in a month or so to reverse the stoma he ended up with, and should also cover six months of chemotherapy.
MeRO is continuing to operate as usual and currently has half a dozen patients. They are not currently accepting acutely unwell and complex surgical patients as it is only Samrat who has the knowledge, expertise, understanding, communication and connections to be able to do this.
On behalf of Samrat, Sajina, all of at Roads to Rehab Nepal and everyone at StichtingCare4Nepal, we would like to say a huge thank you for your incredible generosity. We will keep you posted….

Update on Budhi Bahadur!!

Physiotherapy is not a quick medicine. It takes days, months, and continuous practice to bring changes into daily life and make living easier and more independent. Recovery is a journey that requires patience, dedication, and hope.

But is it possible to receive months of physiotherapy without worrying about the cost? Yes, it is possible through our organization.

Just look at Budhi Bahadur. After 2 months of aggressive and intensive physiotherapy, Budhi and his wife have learned so much from our physiotherapist, Ms. Anjeela. Together, they worked hard every single day with determination and courage.

Now, they are finally ready to return home with a new mission, new confidence, and new hope for the future.

We wish Budhi Bahadur a wonderful, independent, and meaningful life ahead.

Humanity Has Many Names

Humanity does not always come with a single face or identity.
Sometimes it is love. Sometimes it is care. And sometimes, it appears in the form of someone who feels no less than a guardian sent by God.

When we heard Sunil’s story, it made us pause and reflect on what true humanity really means.

Sunil, an 18-year-old boy from Lamjung, has been living with Mr. Budhi Bahadur for the past three years. Today, Sunil has just completed his SEE examination a— a milestone that once felt impossible for him.

Sunil’s early life was filled with hardship. His father struggled with alcoholism, and his mother left him when he was very young. Left alone in such a fragile condition, his future seemed uncertain and lost.

But humanity found him.

When Mr. Budhi Bahadur saw Sunil’s condition, he did not turn away. Instead, he chose compassion. He welcomed Sunil into his home, cared for him as his own son, and ensured he was enrolled in a nearby school. What Sunil lost in family, he found again through kindness.

However, life tested him once more.

Last year, Sunil was diagnosed with a kidney stone. The doctors prescribed medication but clearly advised that surgery was necessary. And in Nepal, surgery often means something many families cannot afford — money.

Unable to manage the financial burden, Budhi Bahadur had no choice but to watch Sunil live with pain for over a year.

Then, another act of humanity unfolded.

When we heard Sunil’s story through our dear friend Mr. Lee Williams, we knew we could not stay silent. Some stories demand action, not sympathy.

With open hearts, we accepted Sunil into our care. Through our organization, Roads to Rehab Nepal, we have now begun his treatment at KIST Medical College.

This is what humanity looks like.
It lives in the kindness of a stranger, the sacrifice of a guardian, and the willingness of people to come together for someone they may have never known.

Sunil’s journey is not just his own — it is a reminder that even in the hardest circumstances, humanity still exists, quietly changing lives.
