Devghat, Chitwan lacks basic primary care including health screening, routine follow up, hospital discharge follow-ups etc. Most of the residents are 50 yr. and above which do not have access to safe and reliable transport service to the Bharatpur Hospital and has low utilization rate of the government services at Bharatpur Hospital. Lacks basic health screening including coordination of care. Based on these challenges it is an ideal place to implement electronic health records. Because of the close relationship with Bharatpur Hospital, its implementation will further enhance its relationship with the hospital and can broaden the service offered through the facility. It has received generous support from the Nepalese living in the United States and well received from the local residents. Hence this project has been evolving as a self-sustained charity health care ideal project.
