Landslides were reported from a number of places in Dolakha, Gorkha, Rasuwa and Sindhupalchok districts following the aftershocks on 12 May. Safety and security of health workers remains an issue in the remote villages of the districts. Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) issued public notice to all private hospitals and nursing homes asking them to conduct a rapid visual assessment of the hospital building before resuming services. Surveillance systems have been enhanced in all highly affected districts, all peripheral health facilities and health workers have been alerted. There is no confirmation of disease outbreak in the affected districts. The injury rehabilitation sub-cluster has established hotlines to provide information on rehabilitation services including outreach, patient transport and assistive devices.
