Nepal: A Perilous Journey to Health

Culturally rich and ethnically diverse Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries. It is plagued by high rates of malnutrition and disease and has poor quality health facilities. Thanks to funding from the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid office, the International Rescue Committee developed a project to restore and strengthen Nepal's health facilities, deliver much needed drugs and supplies to its clinics, provide training to volunteer health workers, and help communities develop and manage their healthcare programs.
