When on 25 April 2015 an earthquake measuring 7.8 tore across Nepal’s central and western districts, the country’s health workforce was placed under immense pressure. From triaging waves of incoming patients at remote health posts to carrying out round the-clock surgeries at Kathmandu’s major hospitals, the workforce faced formidable challenges. It proved itself more than capable.
Almost one year on, Nepal’s health workforce continues to overcome adversity in support of the health and well being of communities. One year after Nepal’s devastating earthquake, the health workforce remains focused on and committed to providing the best care possible. We are all indebted.
