Health

Access to quality health care is not a privilege—it is a fundamental human right. However, Nepal’s health system faces persistent challenges—including geographic barriers, poor infrastructure, shortages of trained health workers, financial and cultural barriers, and governance gaps—that lead to poor health outcomes, high maternal and neonatal mortality, and prevalence of preventable diseases, particularly in remote and low-resource communities.

Therefore, our goal is to provide access to basic health care services at the community level and to support Nepal’s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 targets by reducing maternal mortality to below 70 per 100,000 live births and neonatal mortality to 12 or fewer per 1,000 live births by 2030.

 

OUR APPROACH

-Providing access to basic health care services through construction and renovation of health facilities.

-Strengthening health facilities and birthing centers with provision of medicines, medical equipment and skilled health workers.
