One Little, Two Little, Three Little Hospitals…..

Back in Kathmandu, Jhpiego decided we were ready for the big Kaunas of hospitals.

Hospital numero uno: Dhulikhel Hospital

Dhulikhel hospital, also known as “The Big D”, is a university hospital set in the happening college town of Dhulikhel. This facility was pretty amazing- nicer than a lot of American hospitals with a NICU that was temperature and humidity regulated. Pretty fancy stuff. Plus the hospital was full of beautiful male European medical students, which did not hurt the ambiance.

(Hospital 1.5: Scheer Memorial Hospital.)

The Jhpiego staff, being amazing per usual, snuck us into an additional hospital (BONUS!)

Hospital number two: PWMH

This hospital does have a full proper name, but it’s long and we prefer to stay up with the local slang and call it PWMH. This hospital was also wonderful, and the girls got to see a live resuscitation during their first delivery (the poor mother. The girls could hardly contain their excitement. Shame.) This facility had such a high number of deliveries that everyone was able to get some exposure.

Hospital numéro trois: Civil Hospital

This hospital is very new and was built by the Chinese government. Half of the signs are in Mandarin in the hospital, and the other half are in English, which we couldn’t figure was helping anyone. The inside of the hospital was painted a beautiful green, and everything looked very new and freshly sent from China.

Clearly not the Civil Hospital, but a cute little thermometer in the delivery room
