Bishal Dhakal, a cardiac surgeon and a well known social entrepreneur describes himself as a conscious citizen and a balanced individual. In 2009 he established Health at Home, an organisation that provides complete healthcare services to patients at their own residence. Since then the organisation has been successfully operating in Pokhara, Biratnagar, Birgunj and Kathmandu. The enterprise has been able to establish itself as an innovative, independent and inclusive organisation.
According to Dhakal, the main purpose of the organisation is to solve issues of patient care which includes simple daily routine hygiene management to high end home based ventilation and critical care management.
As a cardiac surgeon he has had the experience of exploring the healthcare services in Russia, India, Pakistan and the United States.
He says, “ I was selected as an International Exchange Fellow by US government. This provided me an opportunity to travel and learn about healthcare in the US. What we are doing in Nepal through Health at Home is pretty close to global homecare practice models and standards.” Talking about his future plans, he says, “ I will always be working in three- focus areas; healthcare services innovation, social entrepreneurship development and disaster healthcare.” Dhakal informs, “ Currently we are only performing in 10 to 20 per cent of our functional thematic capacity and our 80 per cent needs to be explored over the years which will be our future.” According to him, entrepreneurship can be practiced by everyone; be it a government employee, or someone in private start ups or in family business. “ Being enterprising means you seek to transform your delivery to next level and take it to bigger better process. This transformation is possible with innovations, investments and in- depth understanding of the issue,” he shares. He says, “ This will be easier to understand if we divide, doing business is not equal to becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are essential part of progressive institutions and often they are found as leaders of that successful business or institutions.” As an active and successful entrepreneur he is always motivating other aspiring ones. He says, “ A social entrepreneur should always help create more entrepreneurs. That is where social change becomes widely available to everyone and impact is generated in manifold.”
