The figures from the National Emergency Operations Centre as of 29 April 2015 indicate
that 5027 people have been killed and 10 235 have been injured following the earthquake
of 25 April 2015. The Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) has identified 35 affected districts, of which 11 are the worst-hit (Bhaktpur, Dhading, Dolkha, Gorkha, Kathmandu, Kavre, Lalitpur, Nuwakot, Ramechhap, Rasuwa and Sindupalchowk). WHO and MOHP teams are assessing the status of health care facilities in all affected districts. Preliminary reports indicate that about 90% of health care facilities outside the main towns are not functioning. Temporary health care services are being provided in makeshift shelters in these areas. The MOHP has thanked all countries who deployed foreign medical teams, and
announced that it does not require additional teams. All foreign medical teams on standby are therefore kindly requested to stand down.
