Lila Mani Poudyal, Chief Secretary of the Government of Nepal, says the nation especially needs orthopedic doctors, nerve specialists, anesthetists, surgeons and paramedics, according to a KOIN.com report.
Nepal's appeal for medical and physician resources comes after a disastrous 7.8 earthquake struck between Kathmandu and Pokhara. BBC News reports at least 3,617 people are known to have died and more than 6,500 people have been injured.
