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.
Our 7+ years of experience building healthcare systems in Nepal has prepared us for the challenge ahead. 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.
We decided on Dolakha, where 40% of its population now has zero access to healthcare and 87% of the its healthcare facilities have been damaged or destroyed.
