The overall pattern of morbidity in Nepal is dominated by infectious disease, nutritional disorders, and maternal and prenatal diseases, behaviour and social change communication is one of the most effective ways of improving health and social outcomes for women, children and their families.
Poverty is the main reason why babies are not vaccinated, why clean water and adequate sanitation are not available to many village people, why curative drugs and treatments are not accessible, and why mothers die every year unnecessarily during childbirth. A family's nutritional security depends not only on wholesome food, but also on food storage, preparation and feeding, micronutrients, basic health services, safe water and sanitation, and good hygiene. For infants and young children, nutritional security also means immediate skin-to-skin proceeding to breastfeeding at birth, exclusive breastfeeding from birth to six months, and continued breastfeeding for two years or longer with age-appropriate complementary feeding to sustain growth and development.
In most cases, when living in such remote areas, the distance and lack of transportation to major cities to access the required medical treatment is difficult. Throughout the monsoon season many villagers struggle and many even die as there are very limited resources and access to proper treatments is simply not available. It can become near impossible to seek help as the roads become un-useable due to floods. This forces them to walk for 13 hours to reach a main road followed by an 8 hour bus ride to be able to access the city.
The Sambhav Nepal foundation will not discriminate according to gender, Caste or ethnicity and will endeavour to provide those in need along with new mothers, elderly and new born babies the facilities to get medical attention when they need it most. The critically important gift we can provide is accessible care with hygienic facilities along with sustainable health workshops to educate individuals for long lasting change. We are committed to leadership and resources with the intention of achieving desired change towards a more efficient and effective health service.
We aim to provide continuous medical supplies, facilities and education to benefit the whole community. Here a little help goes a very long way.
Structured and monitored change in the following areas will enable us to make a significant difference in the Arupokhari Area and its habitants |
