With generous support from Rotary International, Rotary Skovshoved Club, the Eurofins Foundation, and the Honoré Foundation, Chimalaya Charity’s clinic in Bode has now been fully renovated and expanded. Special thanks go to Hans Frederik Carøe from Skovshoved Rotary Club, Flemming Sundø from Chimalaya’s advisory board, and Mette Otzen MO Interiors, UK for their invaluable support.
The clinic, located in Madhyapur, Thimi Municipality, Ward No. 8 – Bode, Bhaktapur, now stands as a modern and functional health and training facility.
The renovation includes:
- Upgrading and redesigning clinic rooms on the 3rd floor of the existing building, including converting the rooftop terrace into a teaching room
- Interior finishing and painting of rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors of the adjacent new building
- Construction of a connecting bridge between the buildings
- New garden and outdoor areas
- New furniture, medical equipment, IT and teaching supplies, and two scooters
Despite nearly five years of delays due to COVID-19 and complex administrative challenges in Nepal, the clinic is now fully operational and already serving mothers and children in the area.
The clinic is 100% dedicated to Chimalaya Charity’s activities and is run exclusively by Chimalaya Charity’s team in Nepal.
A key step toward sustainability
In collaboration with Dhulikhel University Hospital, Chimalaya Charity has developed a certified training programme – Home Visit Nurse – for nurses, midwives, and health workers. The programme is based on the Nordic model of preventive healthcare and focuses on early intervention and paediatric care.
We are proud to enter the next phase of our development programme – Phase 3 – focused on creating long-term sustainability, local anchoring, and independent operations.
We wish to thank all our donors for making this transformation possible, and we hope to continue receiving enough support to reach our Phase 3 goal of full operational independence within the next 3–4 years.
