Kathmandu: When Subhash Dhungel\'s father passed out, the panicked road engineer called for an ambulance. To the Nepali man\'s horror, the vehicle arrived without a trained medical technician to help his unconscious father as they drove to a Kathmandu hospital. \r\nIt wasn\'t an isolated case. Nepal is woefully short of ambulances and trained emergency medical technicians are even rarer. Ambulances are mainly used as a means to simply transport patients to hospitals. |
