Dhane BK, now in his senior years, lives with his close-knit family in Nepal. Seven years ago, Dhane completed treatment for leprosy, marking a significant milestone in his journey to overcome the disease. However, his struggle did not end there. Recently, he faced a new challenge when he developed a foot ulcer. Recognizing the severity of the situation, he was admitted to the Shining Hospital for specialized care, supported by PWS&D. 

Throughout his stay at Shining Hospital, Dhane BK demonstrated remarkable resilience and a positive attitude, which inspired both the medical staff and his family. His dedication to following medical advice and maintaining his treatment regimen played a pivotal role in his steady progress.

His treatment regimen included daily ulcer dressings and comprehensive education on self-care practices. He learned the importance of inspecting, cleansing, protecting and caring for the ulcer—practices that not only promote healing but also empower him to take an active role in his recovery. 

Today, Dhane continues to improve, with the ulcer showing significant signs of healing. His story is a reminder that with determination, support and access to quality health care, individuals like Dhane can overcome even the most challenging health conditions.
