| Project: |
The Doti and Achham districts of far western Nepal are currently lacking basic health services. With only one physician for the districts' 450,000 residents, maternal and child health outcomes in particular are some of the worst in the world. This proposal describes the development of sustainable healthcare delivery infrastructure and training for Nepalese community healthcare workers in the area of maternal and child health. It is part of a larger initiative between university-based healthcare providers in the U.S. and their Nepalese counterparts (see Nyaya Health), in an effort to improve health outcomes in western Nepal. |

| Grant: |
$10,000 |

| Details: |
We are not requesting materials directly from ANMF. To ensure a sustainable supply of necessary equipment and disposables, we have established accounts with the International Dispensary Association (IDA) and REMEDY (a medical supply donation program based at Yale-New Haven Hospital); these organizations will provide an organized procurement and delivery mechanism to provide those materials necessary to complete the project while reducing waste or redundancy.
We have designed three training programs for Nepalese physicians, nurses and community healthcare workers in our program. As the program training specifics and training leaders have been established by our group, we do not currently need additional training support from ANMF members.
$57,606 to provide for equipment and supplies for the establishment of an obstetrical ward; and to provide maternal/child health and infectious disease training of a Nepali physician, two nurses, and four community healthcare workers. Details of our budget are provided below. |
