Rebuilding the Healthcare System In Nepal’s Dolakha District

July 20, 2015 - The Possible Team

Nepal is turning towards rebuilding.

Today, we signed an agreement at the invitation of Nepal’s Ministry of Health and Population to rebuild the healthcare system in Dolakha District, near the epicenter of the 7.3 earthquake that struck on May 12th.

Over the last two months, our team visited the worst-hit districts to assess the state of the healthcare system, met with government partners to discuss the country’s priorities, and created detailed evaluations and proposals for each prospective district.
