Health : Nepal Earthquake Cluster Brief ( July 2015 )
|
Almost 3 months after the 25 April earthquake, public health needs in the affected districts continue to be addressed. Of the more than 1,000 health facilities that had been damaged, the Health Ministry with the support of health cluster partners have been able to resume basic health services in 99.8 per cent of health facilities in the quake
affected districts. Health partners are also present and operational in all Village Development Committees in the 14 most-affected districts.
However, many of these health facilities require basic resources to provide essential health care services including those related to Expanded Programme on Immunization, maternal and child health. Logistic support for rapid response teams to act efficiently in instance of disease outbreak remains a need as well. Resources for the follow up of patients with orthopedic and spinal injuries are also needed as some of them remain unaware of available services.
