Kurta, leprosy and downtime

A brief post tonight and alas no photos. This morning I spent time in the obstetrics and gynecology ward. There were new babies and women who had had hysterectomies. Over here hysterectomies are performed through the abdomen as they lack the tools to perform them vaginally.

On Monday the Festival of Lights begins. We are going to celebrations as a group so I ordered a kurta, one of the traditional dresses of Nepal to wear. Others in our group ordered saris. The colours to choose from were magnificent!

After lunch we listened to a lecture on leprosy. Whilst it has been eradicated, it has not been eliminated from Nepal and the doctor speaking to us still sees several cases per month.

This evening we have gathered as a group for dinner and a few drinks. A great way to wind down before our first health camp tomorrow.
