Vandaag, de 25e Mei, een bevestiging ontvangen van dr. Ram Shrestha dat de 100.000 Euro aangekomen is.
Hij heeft  gevraagd of het goed is dit geld te gebruiken voor de wederopbouw van het ziekenhuis en buitenposten.
De acute nood lijkt, voorzichtig gesproken, voorbij.
Het ziekenhuis dat direct na de ramp, ingericht werd voor acute nood gaat weer teruggebracht worden tot zijn normale indeling. Tot de 22e Mei zijn er nog 251 aftershocks gevoeld. (≥ 4 Richter scale)

Immediate need of DH: 
a. Reconstruction and Renovation of earthquake damaged buildings of Dhulikhel Hospital
b. Reconstruction and Restoration of damaged Outreach Centers 
c. Rebuilding homes of earthquake survivors in our target area
d. School Rebuilding Program in our target area
e. Specific Materials and equipment support like satellite phones, C-Arm, portable X-rays and USG machines, ambulance, vehicle (possibly all terrain), helicopter, tablets, polaroid instant digital cameras, mobile hospitals

Het ligt in de lijn om eerst de beschadigingen aan het Birthing Centre en de outreach Dapcha aan te pakken, temeer omdat de Wilde Ganzen bereid zijn snelle procedures te starten i.s.m. Nepalimed .
Voor zover het geld het toelaat, gaan we andere wederopbouwprocedures proberen te ondersteunen.

NB Mocht U suggesties hebben voor donaties vanuit andere fondsen dan wel donaties uit andere aktiviteiten, dan graag contact met mij. Er is nog veel geld nodig!!

Ziekenhuis Het ziekenhuis staat ondanks het feit dat er nog regelmatig in de ochtend en avond “schokjes”zijn , nog geheel overeind.
Er wordt hard gewerkt, de toestroom van de vele gewonden is gelukkig afgenomen, wel zijn de patienten die er nu komen,er ernstiger aan toe,  omdat ze langer van hulp verstoken zijn en uit de gebieden komen waar nog weinig hulp is geweest.

Buitenposten:
Met de buitenposten van het ziekenhuis in de “remote areas” is het ernstiger gesteld, vele gebouwen zijn beschadigd dan wel ingestort.
(Bahuneypati is fors beschadigd, evenals De buitenposten Hindi en  Sindhupalchowk , Dapcha heeft alleen wat “cracks”inde muren) Naar sommige outreaches is het weer mogelijk een landrover met artsen en verpleegkundigen te sturen die locaal dus kunnen helpen. 6 van de stafleden van de buitenposten zijn gewond geraakt.
In de komende tijd zal er een begroting gemaakt worden van alle schade aan deze gezondheidskliniekjes.

Containers
Voorlopig heeft het verzamelen en opsturen van containers geen zin, deze blijven vaak op het vliegveld of elders steken. Beter is het om de materialen die nodig zijn, door het ziekenhuis te laten aanschaffen.

Opbrengst
Wat een hartverwarmende reacties van alle bekenden!! Men geeft gul!  Met het overmaken van geld wacht ik het antwoord af van Ram Shrestha of het bankverkeer naar hun bank weer veilig is. Zodra ik groen licht krijg, maak ik het beginbedrag van 90.000 Euro!! over Heel veel dank aan jullie allen voor jullie spontane bijdrage.

Reactie van een bekende uit Kathmandu( Udayah Vajra)
“ From April 2015 to 4 May 2015 as per Official Record we have 135 times earth quick at the scale of 4.1 to 4.9 rectar Scale. We still have everyday Earth Quick and it become very normal now a days. But lots of Old house around Nepal which has cracked by 25 April Quick, now become more danger after these small Quicks and so people are still not able to go in to the house.

We got back the Electricitt y now and Government providing Tanker Water in different places and Food are slowly available now. The situation become slowly normal but people have really no energy and spirit to do anything.
All are very tired no mood to do anything but young generation and doing lots of Volenters all over the county. This is one very positive Spirit I have seen these days in Kathmandu Valley.
 
I thanked you very much for your support on this very hard time and we need more help on coming days, It is really hard time we got through. I have never seen my Country in this situation and in this picture.”

Respected Sir , Madam,
dear friends and supporters,

after the powerful earthquake that struck Nepal last Saturday, we would like to send you all an update.
The DHOS family including our staff stationed at the outreach centers are fine and got in contact with the hospital.We are trying our best to cope with this devastating situation and the growing number of injured patients. The main building of the hospital is intact, we have some damage at the Paediatric Building, the new out patient department and the Skill Lab. Our outreach centers especially the new buildings are fine - old constructions in Manekharka, Bahunepati and some other outreach centers collapsed.

The number of deaths are rising , in our district Kavre alone 300 people died, some regions are not accessible yet. Over the last days we treated more than 600 severely injured patients, mostly elderly, women and children who were at home when the earthquake struck. Within 30 hours we had to operate 37 patients, 50 patients are yet to be operated. Since there is no electricity supply, the hospital`s main departments are running  on a generator. Most of the cases have fractures, we have also seen many lung bleedings resulting from rib fractures. Every bed in the hospital is occupied, all intensive care units are full - we bought mattresses for the patients to stay on the floor and outside the hospital.Patients who are out of danger are transferred by a hospital bus to a nearby  army camp in Dhulikhel. Helicopters are now bringing patients with post trauma infected wounds and fractures from more remote areas.  One of our outreach centers that has the capacity to hold  6 inpatients had to deal with 200 injured. The severely injured are flown to the hospital with helicopters and on their way back they transport medicine and medical supply to the outreach centers. 

Our medial team is working around the clock,the entire hospital is now running on emergency services only. While aftershocks are still quite strong , we are expecting more casualties  - our medical supplies are very limited now and we are in need of almost everything.

Attached please find some photos of the scenario yesterday and today.

All the best for you and  Namaste ! Thank you for your support.

Dr. Ram K.M. Shrestha and the entire DHOS team

Hello Ammy mam,
Thank you very much for remembering us. All our family are ok. It was very scary experience of life. the situation in hospital and villages in Sindhupalchok is terrible. Three of our outreach centers are destroyed including bahunipati and manikharka. Fortunately no injuries to our staffs. Hospital is relatively safe place. It was constructed earthquake proof. Except some crack in the wall no damage happened to hospital. We are working day and night to serve people. I have not been to home since the earthquake happened. we are getting lots of survivors of earthquake. All the wards and corridors are full now.
Even we discharge the patients they are not able to go to normal life.
Many lost their family and home is destroyed.
I think Dhulikhel Hospital is doing one of the best patient management this time. OT is running round the clock. We do triage at gate and at emergency. Till now its going on systematically.
I could not replay earlier because internet in hospital is working only from today.
Thanks again for remembering us.

With best regards,
sanu
