Who we are

Marc Boix Bruguera

Doctor. He was born in Nepal (1989) and adopted when he was 6 years old by the family Boix Bruguera from Girona. He got his graduate in Medicine from Universitat de Barcelona. Marc pursued three years of medical residency (until the start of R3 from MIR) in Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation at Hospital Arnau Vilanova in Lleida.

Marc has the Spanish nationality and a Non-Resident Nepali permit (NRN), which facilitates management and administrative tasks.

He is fluent in Nepali, which is a great advantage when conducting tasks for the association.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authorities of the Humla region granted him a doctor permit that allowed him to break the isolation to take care of patients located outside of Simikot.

In May 2023, he returned to Catalonia after establishing the protocols for the health and pharmacy center. These protocols are sent monthly by the team that Marc put together in 2018, consisting of a nurse, a pharmacist, an administrant, and a warehouse and maintenance assistant. Thus, the members of the team can carry out the assigned tasks.

The communication with the team is permanent and the possibility to manage payments remotely allows the project to move forward. Frequent visits are also arranged to ensure the project’s continuity, either by members of the association or by members of the Board.
