Norvik Hospital has started breast cancer surgery

Kathmandu. Norvik International Hospital has started a breast cancer surgery service for women from a female surgeon. A Nepali doctor and laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Banira Karki has started treatment of patients suffering from breast cancer in Norvik. She currently serves OPD services at Norwich Hospital, targeting women with breast cancer every Monday and Wednesday. The hospital has informed that the women who want to get her OPD service should call the hospital from 12 noon to 2 pm and register in advance.

Breast cancer is also treated in some other hospitals in Nepal. However, there are only male surgeons in these hospitals. Being a sensitive organ of women, they can feel comfortable with a female surgeon and possibly Dr. According to the hospital, Karki is the first and only female surgeon to treat breast cancer in Nepal.

‘Looking at the findings of the study so far, women do not want to talk about the symptoms of breast cancer in time because of shame, bullying and fear and because they are male doctors’, said Dr. Karki says, "But since the surgeon is also a woman, women suffering from cancer can tell their problem in time. If they know in time, treatment of breast cancer is possible."

Dr. According to Karki, a recent study has shown that one out of every four women suffers from breast cancer. Similarly, one in six women in the world has died due to breast cancer. Even as this ratio is likely to increase, there is a need for better public awareness about breast cancer in Nepal. Karki explains.

Dr. Karki tests women with suspected breast cancer in Norvik with the help of state-of-the-art technology. Those who have been diagnosed with cancer will have all sorts of tests, from surgery to surgery. Dr. Karki claimed that she came to Nepal and chose Norvik as it has a good working environment for the country's standard hospitals and doctors. ‘If a better working environment is created for physicians like us involved in treatment, we can also provide better service to patients’, said Dr. Karki said, "I don't think there is another alternative to Norvik Hospital in Nepal for this."

She also called on Nepali women not to delay coming to the hospital if they suspect breast cancer. "Breast cancer can be cured if it is detected in the first stage," she said. "If you come to the hospital late because of shame, pressure or fear, the situation can get worse."

Lately, the practice of treating breast cancer (surgery) without removing or even removing the breast has started. This service is also available in Norvik. Dr. Karki further said, ‘Breast removal surgery makes it easier for the victimized women to be socially rehabilitated and does not have a major impact on their psychology. Females can be saved from psychological trauma. '

Dr. Karki has performed surgeries on about 700 women while doing fellowship in breast cancer at prestigious institutions including Tata Medical Center in India. He also has experience working as a General Laparoscopic Surgeon in Dhulikhel Hospital. She did her MBBS from Pakistan.
