Adios Dr. Devkota

Human life is uncertain and cannot be forecast for how long somebody will live in this materialistic world in-spite of many medical inventions have been made to prolong human lives for few hours or days. Lucky and fortunate people were and have been able to conquer his/her death to live for some more years. Had everybody been able to conquer their deaths, this world would be overpopulated. And, there are many people around the world who face untimely death due to hunger, starvation and other reasons. The miracle of Mother Nature cannot be understood and is beyond our imagination.



The untimely demise of renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Upendra Devkota has shocked the nation “Renowned neurosurgeon Devkota passes away” (THT, June 19, Page 1). He himself saved thousands of lives in his thirty years of medical history from their untimely deaths. His untiring medical services provided to the visiting patients cannot be compared and valued. He was an intelligent and a hard working person who has significant contribution in the field of neurological related health sector.

He was a committed doctor with superb patient management skills who used to perform surgeries for 10 to 12 hours without taking a break, says Dr. Gopal Sedhai, a neurosurgeon working at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. His dream of establishing a state owned neuro hospital was not fulfilled due to lack of interest of the government. However, he did not stay calm and rather initiated his own project and established National Institute of Neurological and Allied Science using his own resources. That is the first Nepal’s neuro hospital. Nepal has lost a dedicated, sincere and committed neurosurgeon doctor who dedicated his entire life for the betterment of neurological health services in the country.
