| Project: |
ANMF has provided a grant to Nyaya Health to support an ambitious project to provide perinatal and pediatric care in one of the most remote areas of Nepal. The Doti and Achham districts of far western Nepal lack basic health services. With only one physician for the district's 250,000 residents, maternal and child health statistics are some of the worst in the world. To combat crisis-level maternal mortality rates, Nyaya is building a hospital to provide comprehensive emergency obstetric services in Achham. Nyaya has arranged for funding for the renovations, infrastructure, supplies, and medicines from other sources, including the Ministry of Health and Populations of Nepal. Funds from ANMF will support the health worker training and salaries to staff the hospital for one year. To learn more about this project, see Obstetric Services. |
