Reference excerpt

The Tibetan Delek Hospital is a hospital founded in 1971 by members of the Tibetan diaspora and their supporters and located in Dharamshala in Northern India. It serves the Tibetan residents and local community in the region, as well as tourists from around the world. It practices social assistance, mainly using modern medicine. In 2013, the Stop TB Partnership's selection committee chose the Delek hospital as the winner of that year's Kochon Prize, a prestigious award that recognizes persons and institutions who have made major contributions to the fight against tuberculosis. However, the winner must be approved by the director-general World Health Organization (WHO) Margaret Chan at the time), and the WHO nullified the choice, because the hospital has ties to the Central Tibetan Administration, which considers itself the Tibetan government-in-exile, and "The WHO is not able to recognize any entity that is not in turn recognized as a legal authority by the UN," according to a spokesman for the WHO and a statement published in the medical journal The Lancet. However, China had also objected to the selection, and the Tibetan exile community believed that their pressure was responsible for the override.

History Delek Hospital was built through donations and provides care at a low cost to patients, while taking care of low-income patients. It was founded in 1971 by the Fourteenth Dalai Lama to give modern medicine to Tibetan refugees and the Indian community living in Dharamsala, a city of Northern India.

In June 2008, the Delek hospital began a program to improve the control of tuberculosis in the Tibetan diaspora, supported by the Johns Hopkins University with the participation of Dr. Zorba Paster and Dr. Richard Chaisson, and the Associazione Italiana per la Solidarietà fra i Popoli (AISPO). The Rotary Club of Sunshine, based in Australia, participates in the financing of the program of tuberculosis control for Tibetan refugees.

Location It lies between Dharamsala and McLeod Ganj, near the Men-Tsee-Khang—a location that may facilitate collaboration between these medicines.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tibetan Delek Hospital

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tibetan Delek Hospital claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tibetan Delek Hospital before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tibetan Delek Hospital ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tibetan Delek Hospital

In research: Tibetan Delek Hospital appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tibetan Delek Hospital in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tibetan Delek Hospital is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1971 establishments in Himachal Pradesh, 20th-century architecture in India, Buildings and structures in Dharamshala, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tibetan Delek Hospital outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
