Nepal earthquake
The Nepal earthquake of 2015, was one of the most devastating
earthquake that struck near the city of Kathmandu in central Nepal
on April 25, 2015. An estimate of 9,000 people were killed,
thousands more were injured and more than 600,000 structures in
Kathmandu and other towns in Nepal were either damaged or
destroyed.

As part of KP1M Response Team for local and international
disaster relieve, a team from SP Care Group consisting of
Dr. Prakash, Dr Harry, MA Mohan and 2 staff nurses were among
the crew of 34 humanitarian relieve team.

We were deployed to the town of Dhulikhel. There we served the
people at the University Hospital Katmandu and a nearby village
which was situated up on a hill called Phalate. We assisted the
Emergency Department of Hospital Dhulikhel throughout our stay
dealing with various injury cases. The trip was meaningful and
fulfilling as we managed to help many in need.

Kelab Putra 1 Malaysia and MAPIM sent a team of volunteers on a
Food Flotilla (Nautical Aliya) to Myanmar and Bangladesh. About
200 volunteers were on this vessel comprising medical, logistics and
press personnel.

The medical volunteers from SP Care were :
1. Dr. Suriya Prakash 2. Dr. Harry Dinesh 3. MA. Mohan
Mr. Mohan was part of the forward team who flew about two weeks
earlier to Bangladesh to carry out the necessary medical arrangements
for the team in Bangladesh. The forward team was in Bangladesh for
one week.
While on board we conducted many training sessions including CPR
courses for all volunteers. Our medical team conducted many drills
for our members.

Here on board the vessel we also operated an in-house clinic 24 hours

It was a first time experience for most of ous as we had never been on
board a vessel and sailing for 3 weeks.
