Nabil Bank's Burn Treatment Initiative Offers New Hope to Thousands in Nepal

Kathmandu. For 42-year-old Bharat Lohar from Bhimdatt Municipality-4, Kanchanpur, the last three months were the most painful of his life. Suffering from epilepsy, he was warming himself by a fire in his home to escape the cold of Poush when he had a seizure and fell into the flames. By the time he regained consciousness, most of his hands and legs were severely burned.

Living in extreme poverty, his family could not afford modern hospital treatment. With no money, they relied on herbal pastes, hoping for a recovery that never came. Instead, the wounds worsened, eventually becoming infested with maggots.
