“...As a way of illustrating these points, let us return, in
closing, to the example of Tsering Tamang. Upon discharge
from Bir Trauma Center, she was refereed to an impro-
vised rehabilitation facility run by an organization called
the Nepal Healthcare Equipment Development Foundation
(NHEDF). Tellingly, this home, organized by volunteers
and supported through informal networks, was a citizen
response to non-functional and non-existent state insti-
tutions. Despite the free treatment Tsering received at
the Trauma Center, she did not have access to any state-
funded rehabilitation center. When I last visited Tsering
at the NHEDF rehabilitation center,13 14 she was all smiles,
having taken her fist tentative steps on her newly healed
leg. This moment represented the collective first steps of
all earthquake-affected people in Nepal: tentative, hopeful,
forward looking, and with a strong sense of determination.
