One of our GHD collaborators will be Duncan Smith-Rohrberg Maru with Nyaya Health who is building a health center in rural Nepal. The health center will be in the town of Saphe Bagar, Achham in the remote region of Far Western Nepal. This region has been ravaged by years of civil war and their health system is decimated. There is one doctor for almost a half a million people. Maternal and child mortality is extremely high. Duncan and his team have a ambitious but practical plan for the Achham health center. In addition to the clinical staff at the center, they'll be able to reach more patients with the use of telemedicine and with a community health worker team. I'll write more about the new health center in the future. Visit Nyaya Health's site to read more.
