More than 2,300 people living in remote areas of Nepal received much-needed healthcare over the past couple of years, thanks to staff at Lamjung District Community Hospital (LDCH), including nurse Lalruatdiki (Dicky) Khiangte, a CMS Timothy mission partner.
This took place through five outreach medical camps in faraway villages.
"People cannot come to the hospital so the hospital goes to them," explained Dicky, who is originally from Mizoram and who sees her work as service to God.
"The team often reaches these places by foot; sometimes it takes about 10 hours to walk to the villages. But it is always a joy to see such happy faces."
CMS has given financial support to LDCH, which also runs school and community health education programmes.
