2020 marks 10 years since our volunteer medical teams began traveling to Nepal to bring the gift of healing. Amid the majestic mountains of Nepal, children living in poverty often struggle to stand. Every year 782 children in Nepal are born with clubfoot. In one medical trip our team can assess 70 patients, perform 55 surgical procedures on 20 patients. We had planned to return to Nepal this year but have postponed our trip due to the Coronavirus. We are now planning for 2021. Stay tuned!

We are seeking to start our second program to help children living in poverty; kids that have only the rote learning of school and little stimulation or adult support within their home or institution. The School+Plus program is a proven approach to developing and empowering kids; it provides two hours of daily tutoring, art and music classes, regular health check-ups, and daily nutritious meals, in a caring and loving environment. And we're planning Adult Literacy Classes to help families.

Nepal is warming at nearly twice the global average, with urban areas facing severe heat stress. In the southern Terai, extreme heat and humidity are driving rapid growth in energy demand for cooling, increasing emissions and placing significant stress on energy infrastructure. Dhangadhi Sub-Metropolitan City (DSMC) in Sudurpaschim Province experiences recurrent heatwaves during May–August, with temperatures frequently exceeding 40°C. Climate variability, rapid and unplanned urbanization, loss of green spaces, and limited energy-efficient infrastructure exacerbate risks to public health, livelihoods, and essential services, disproportionately affecting low-income households, outdoor workers, and residents of poorly insulated housing. Impacts include heat-related illness and mortality, school disruptions, and reduced functionality of public facilities.

The Strengthening Health Resilience in Nepal - UNDP- HIV/TB and ML Project (the Project) will support the Government of Nepal (GoN) to strengthen the country’s resilience and health response and contribute towards a world free of the burden of HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria with better and equitable health care for all. The project’s focus is to address the significant gaps in TB case notification by maximising efforts to reach missing cases with focus on screening among key and vulnerable populations and engaging private service providers. There is a need to improve the capacity of lab network especially in optimising sample transportation, diagnosis, utilisation of GeneXpert and ensuring quality assurance across the diagnostic lab network. Further, the Project will focus on expanding the treatment coverage for DRTB cases and bringing initial loss to follow up cases to radar of health care and treatment. Nepal’s shift to a federal system of governance, as outlined in the Constitution of 2015, has affected human resource capacities of TB and HIV/AIDS programmes, in particular at provincial and local levels. The Project aims to address this by supporting capacity development relevant stakeholders at the sub-national levels, thereby improving resilience of health systems to effectively response to HIV/TB and ML in the country.

Nepal faces significant challenges in combating HIV, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria, despite noteworthy progress and achievement in public health and country’s response to health issues. According to the National Center for AIDS and STD control (NCASC), approximately 30,300 people live with HIV with concentrated prevalence among key populations such as sex workers, people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men and migrants who face higher risks due to unsafe practices and lack of targeted interventions. In 2023, 457 people were infected with HIV, a 91% reduction of annual infection rate compared to statistics in 2000. Whereas TB remains a major concern with an estimated incidence of 69,000, with only 69% of infected persons notified,1 and mortality among HIV negative persons of 17,000 Drug resistant TB (DRTB) is an emerging concern, further complicating prevention and treatment efforts. Nepal has started to implement a TB free initiative which has the potential to change the trajectory of the TB burden in the country. However, the initiative is currently limited to 150 out of 753 local governments. Limited or overburdened human resource capacity has markedly reduced the capacity to coordinate the TB programme implementation at the provincial level, and capacity development needs remain high. Further, the weak maintenance system of equipment including calibration, updating software versions and timely repair of equipment and diagnostics further challenge the disease treatment in Nepal. For the last decade Malaria cases have declined significantly but the disease remains endemic in 25 districts with over 1.2 million people who are at risk due to limited access to healthcare, particularly in remote areas of the country. Socio-economic factors, stigma, and poor health infrastructure all play major roles in timely treatment and access to the services. Further, low awareness, risk behaviours and funding gaps hinder Nepal’s ability to effectively prevent, diagnose, and
