A desire to build a brighter future for children around the world has brought together doctors from New York and Nepal to expand pediatric emergency medicine training through the AMPATH Nepal partnership. 

The Arnhold Institute for Global Health at Mount Sinai has announced that the Laerdal Foundation has awarded $49,800 to support the launch of INSPIRE-Nepal.

Through the AMPATH Nepal partnership, doctors from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York are working with their colleagues at Dhulikhel Hospital and Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences to train and implement evidence-based protocols for ventilator management to improve care and outcomes for people they serve in rural Nepal.

 At the end of 2022, AMPATH Nepal launched the Nepal Pilot Projects grant opportunity to accelerate the development of collaborative work.

A decade ago, I had the privilege of training the first class of emergency medicine fellows here in Nepal. Today those fellows are emergency medicine physicians, training the next generation of health care leaders.

AMPATH’s global health partnership continues to expand with the addition of AMPATH Nepal led by Dhulikhel Hospital and Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences with the Arnhold Institute for Global Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai representing the AMPATH Consortium of 15 academic health centers around the world.
