SEARHEF Emergency Funds Reach Nepal Within 24 Hours
Abstract:
After the mega disaster in 2004 when massive tsunami waves struck multiple countries in the WHO South-East Asia Region, WHO and Member States together set up the South-East Asia Regional Health Emergency Fund (SEARHEF) to meet the surge of needs in the first few days following an emergency. The SEARHEF, proven to be a rapidly mobilized resource, was immediately made available to Nepal, approved within six hours and released within 24 hours of the earthquake on 25 April 2015.
