More Than 'Repair Boys': The Hidden Battles & Unsung Triumphs of Nepal's Biomedical Engineers Every accurate lab report in Nepal hides an untold story—not just of skilled technicians, but of the Biomedical Engineers fighting silent battles to keep machines alive. Imagine this: In a busy Nepali hospital, a critical diagnosis hangs in the balance. A life potentially saved, or lost, depending on the results out by a complex machine – a hematology analyzer, a chemistry system, an immunoassay reader.
