Abstract

The Britain Nepal Otology Service (BRINOS), founded as a registered charity in 1988, has so far held four ear surgery camps in Nepal, sponsored and organised a nationwide survey of the prevalence and causes of ear disease and deafness and is sponsoring a pilot scheme of primary care for ear disease. Seven thousand outpatients have been seen, 270 major and 170 minor ear operations have been performed in the four ear surgery camps.
