EXPERIENCES AFTER GRADUATING RESIDENCY PROGRAM
I joined several surgical outreach, namely Cambodia, Laos and Lombok.
- a) Cambodia Surgical Outreach
Surgical outreach in Cambodia held on May 2019. It was carried out in the Kampong Chhnang village area. At that time, I was lucky to be able to do surgery with Dr. Reeta Gurung and Dr. Sanyam Bajimaya from the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology.
- My activities during social service:
❖ I work in the screening section. During screening we had to go to several health centers where we had to take a boat to cross the river so we could get to that place.

My new experience is working on a brown cataract case, which when I was studying in Nepal this case was given to a consultant to do it. |
