WHO staff are providing support to District Health Offices (DHOs) in 14 affected districts in their work for coordination, surveillance and management of services. Seventy-two Foreign Medical Teams (FMTs) officially deployed through the Government of Nepal are working in the earthquake-affected districts. At least 59 FMTs have completed their task and are preparing to leave. Ongoing priorities are to manage the injured, increase presence in districts to support district response, restore primary health care services and provide rehabilitation support to patients discharged from hospitals.
