Even a new and little known organisation can set an example. Established only six months ago, the Poor Patients Aid Association Nepal (PPAAN) has provided full health checks to 146 street children in Kathmandu. The children were selected from Bal Bhojan program at Indra Chowk and Children Home from Thamel. Similarly, with the financial assistance from Mediscience Nepal, the association provided a heart valve to Bindu Rana Magar which was successfully implanted after an operation at the Martyr Gangalal Memorial Heart Center at a cost of Rs 60,000. PPAAN has provided free health care to over 3,000 patients so far.
