We did a research project in the Kavrepalanchok district (near Kathmandu), that looked into using household pressure cookers (very common) as stovetop autoclaves for medical device sterilization. Through several trips, we got to see not only the peculiarities of working in such a resource-constrained environment, but also got to know our Nepali friends and coworkers well, and see the country a little bit.
