Reference: Professor Arnott W.M., (1964). Assignment Report on the Proposed Establishment of a Medical College in Nepal, Nepal (WHO Project: NEPAL 15), WHO. URL-http://apps.who.int/iris/ There are no reliable vital statistics apart from the census figures, so that knowledge of the incidence of disease is only gained by impressions. Infective disease is appropriate to a sub-tropical population lacking the resources of preventive medicine. Gastric-intestinal infections, such as dysentery - both bacillary and especially amoebic - infantile gastric-enteritis, enteric fever, ankylostomiasis and ascariasis are rife. There are no completely reliable supplies of drinking water, the rural population in general being dependent on shallow wells and surface water. Human excreta is used (particularly in the vicinity of Kathmandu) as a fertilizer for vegetables.
