About
The Sachey Foundation
Dr. Sachey Kumar Pahari
Biography
From the time he completed his first medical degree in 1962 until the year before his passing in 2015, Dr. SK Pahari devoted his professional life to treating patients from all corners of Nepal. For over fifty years, he was an inspiring and instrumental figure in Nepali science and medicine as the country embarked on a mission to expand modern medicine and reach its most neglected populations. Dr. SK Pahari had a very practical understanding of the need to improve health and healthcare in Nepal. He believed that people were able to contribute to their families, community and nation only to the extent that they enjoyed good health and could live full and productive lives.
The Foundation is well positioned to multiply the vast goodwill that Dr. Pahari earned during his lifetime through his services, institution building, and support for medical professionals of all backgrounds across Nepal and internationally. The Foundation relies on this goodwill to reach out to medical professionals of all backgrounds to carry out effective consultations and coordination to help us to design and implement programme that will remain focused on community led bottom-up approaches to healthcare.
