Doctors for Nepal

Doctors for Nepal (DFN) aims to improve healthcare in rural Nepal through the provision of medical, nursing and midwifery scholarships, health projects and emergency relief.

Lalit’s Story

Lalit’s Story

Lalit dreamed of becoming a doctor, but the fees were far beyond the reach of his family. After receiving a DFN scholarship, he now works in his remote home province in Nepal as the region's first consultant gynecologist.


A brighter future for remote communities

A brighter future for remote communities
DFN has gone on to award over forty more scholarships to young people from the most deprived regions, all of whom agree to return to work in a remote area, ensuring they make a lasting impact in their home regions.

Fighting for better medical care in rural Nepal
