A special partnership with MDF Nepal, a charity founded eight years ago by parents of clients suffering from neuromuscular disorders, saw our Occupational Therapist Christine Brown and Client Services Manager Mathilde Backhouse travel to Nepal in early 2012 to provide professional advice and assistance. The pair visited Kathmandu for the MDF Nepal neuromuscular conference, Pokhara for a week of needs assessments, and then Bhaktapur to meet families and carers in remote areas and experience their challenges first-hand.
Both Christine and Mathilde were inspired by MDF Nepal and say the partnership between MontroseAccess and MDF Nepal was a sign that "we are a part of the global community of families living with a disability".
