In April and May 2015, two devastating earthquakes hit central Nepal. More than
5 million people were affected, of whom 1.4 million were estimated to be women
of reproductive age. More than 90,000 women were estimated to be pregnant, and
10,300 were expected to give birth over one month. Approximately 4,500 women were predicted to suffer complications from pregnancy and childbirth, and an estimated
28,000 women were presumed to experience sexual violence.
The Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) is a coordinated set of priority activities designed to prevent and manage the consequences of sexual violence; reduce HIV transmission; prevent excess newborn and maternal morbidity and mortality; and, plan for comprehensive reproductive health services. Additional priority activities include: ensure contraceptives are available to meet demand; ensure people presenting with symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) receive treatment; ensure people on antiretrovirals (ARVs), including for prevention of mother-to-child treatment,continue treatment; and address menstrual hygiene.
