We are excited to see this year as a banner year for expansion and success in Nepal. Our staff has grown to 30 people! 28 of which are nationals. With a new clinic opening in 2007 in Nardi, Nepal, PUMA's ability to offer quality primary health care services in the districts of Gorkha, Tanahau, and Lamjung will be stronger than ever. Currently all of our clinics are making health care available to well over 120,000 people. The future is bright as we begin our next 5-year agreement with Nepal's Social Welfare Council, giving us the green light to continue with medical work in central Nepal.That agreement also allows us to expand across the country bringing life-saving medical aid and help to many many thousands of men women and children.

On January 12, 2007, we will inaugurate our newest facility in Bhiarahawa, just south of the major city of Butwol.  At this facility, we will offer full lab testing and Ultra Sound testing.

Below is some of the staff that will be stationed at the new clinic.  In addition, there are some pictures of the clinic taken in December 2006
