Bina’s story is a reminder of how timely medical care can open doors to new oppor­tu­nities. Her surgeries didn’t just restore her hearing — they gave her confidence,a chance to return to school, and dreams of a brighter future. With a heart full of gratitude, Bina looks forward to learning, laughing, and living without the silence that once held her back.

*Bina Nepali, a Grade 10 student from Syangja District, lives with her family of six. For the past five to six years, she has struggled with persistent ear problems. Due to financial constraints, her condition remained untreated, compelling her to discon­tinue her education.

Hearing about Green Pastures Hospital’s (GPH) Ear Centre and its Medical Charity Facility for under­priv­i­leged patients from a relative, Bina and her family arrived at the hospital with hope. Without delay, the doctors decided to operate on her left ear. An assessment by the Social Services Department deter­mined that Bina was eligible for 100% support.

Following the successful surgery on her left ear, Bina underwent another procedure for her right ear, once again fully supported by the GPH Medical Charity Fund.

Before coming to GPH, Bina felt hopeless. Her hearing impairment had made her a target of humil­i­ation among her peers, leading her to withdraw from social inter­ac­tions. She avoided school, confined herself to her room, and endured sleepless nights filled with tears and despair.

GPH became a turning point in Bina’s life. Along with medical treatment, she received counseling from the Social Services Department, which instilled positivity and confi­dence in her. Now, Bina is optimistic about her recovery and deter­mined to resume her studies.

Bina and her mother have expressed gratitude to GPH for its support. Her mother shared how tele-counseling has been partic­u­larly impactful.
