About this title

Synopsis

'We can fix this woman. We can take away her chronic pain and stop her incontinence. We can restore her sexual function. We can restore her dignity. We just need more light ...'

Set in the foothills of the spectacular Himalayas, Australian surgeon Dr Ray Hodgson and his exceptional team of volunteers battle more than just the power grid in their fight to improve the lives of desperate Nepalese women. Tackling the overwhelming prevalence of genital prolapse in this exotic corner of the world, this spellbinding story details the struggles the team face as they strive to overcome scarce supplies, gender discrimination, and cultural roadblocks.

Heartbreak in the Himalayas gives readers a priceless insight into Nepal's true culture and its intimate relationship with the health of its people. Dr Ray weaves his way into the heart of this mesmerising country, and shines a light on the hopes, dreams, and heartbreaks of the local people who are usually hidden in statistics.

All profits from the sale of Heartbreak in the Himalayas will fund the construction of a Mothers and Babies Hospital in rural Nepal.

About the Author

Dr Ray Hodgson is an Associate Professor in Obstetrics & Gynaecology. He is a specialist gynaecology surgeon and obstetrician based in Australia. After discovering the appalling state of women's health in Nepal in 2010, he founded the humanitarian organisation Australians for Women's Health. Several times each year he organises teams of volunteers to join him on medical camps to remote regions of Nepal where they provide surgical care to underprivileged women in need. Throughout their camps, the team provide extensive teaching to local doctors, nurses, and midwives. Dr Ray's latest project is to construct a Mothers and Babies Hospital in remote Nepal where they can base their life-changing work. All profits from the sale of Heartbreak in the Himalayas will fund the construction of the hospital. For more information or donations to the hospital project, see: www.A4WH.org.
