Dr. Bishal Gyawali is making a big impact on cancer patients in Nepal. Most people would assume he lives in Kathmandu but surprisingly the man who is making systemic changes to oncology in his native country is doing a lot of the work from his office in a different city that starts with 카지노 게임 컬렉션K카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션 Kingston.
Helping Nepal is the main reason the oncology professor came to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 2019. At the time, he had a full-time faculty position offer at Harvard 카지노게임사이트. He turned it down because he felt he could make a bigger impact while working at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
It all started with a chance meeting at a conference with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Professor Chris Booth and Department of Oncology Head Scott Berry.
They were eager to recruit the talented doctor and emphasized Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Faculty of Health Sciences카지노 게임 컬렉션 strong commitment to global health. Being allowed to spend several weeks a year working in Nepal made Kingston the better fit.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Unlike other institutions that have multiple areas of focus, global oncology seems like the area of focus. By coming to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, I could make a difference,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Gyawali, who is still doing collaborative work with Harvard and is grateful for the training he received there while on a fellowship.
In a country famous for Mount Everest, Dr. Gyawali has some major peaks to climb when it comes to improving cancer patient outcomes in Nepal.
Unlike Canada, there is no free health care. He and his colleagues conducted research and found shocking results on the financial barriers Nepali cancer patients face.
They looked at a group of acute leukemia patients 카지노 게임 컬렉션 who can be cured with chemotherapy drugs and weekly hospital visits 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and found 100 per cent of the patients faced some form of financial stress. Three quarters faced extreme distress, which was defined as facing three factors: needing to sell property (land, home, or livestock), having to borrow money, and asking for charity.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This was eye opening. We expected people to have some financial toxicity, but did not expect this high degree of economic consequences,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Gyawali, who is now pushing the Nepal government to provide low-interest loans to cancer patients so they don카지노 게임 컬렉션t have to sell their homes.
Another systemic change Dr. Gyawali wants is to decentralize cancer treatment. All Nepali oncologists are located in the capital city, Kathmandu. So cancer patients from rural areas sometimes have to travel as long as 36 hours to get treatment.
Dr. Gyawali, , is in the middle of setting up a program that teaches primary care doctors the basics of chemotherapy. Cancer treatment plans would still be done by oncologists, but it would enable patients to receive weekly chemotherapy closer to home, greatly improving the access to health care.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s has already signed a memorandum of understanding with the to help run the program, and the first trainees are expected by 2023.
Surprisingly, Dr. Gyawali feels he can do more to help Nepali cancer patients by working at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s instead of working in Kathmandu.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I have time to spend on research projects, whereas in Nepal, I would be a full-time clinician, 24-7,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Gyawali, who is also teaching Nepali researchers how to do clinical trials and publish research. 카지노 게임 컬렉션By being at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s global health and oncology teams 카지노 게임 컬렉션 we can make a difference in Nepal.카지노 게임 컬렉션
