What Work we Do
Primary Health Care
The quality of health services at the rural health institutions is either very poor or, often, unavailable because of the lack of medical supplies and supporting facilities, as well as shortages in health personnel. Management of the health delivery system is weak, resulting in poor services. It is essential to tackle five preventable diseases which lead 70 % of child mortality: diarrheal disease, acute respiratory illness, TB, measles, malaria and malnutrition. Providing the minimum level of primary health services to all remains the most important challenge to the health service delivery system in Nepal. The problem is not simply lack of resources, but also strategies used and weaknesses in management.
