Resilience During the Pandemic

Resilience During the Pandemic


The COVID-19 pandemic is dramatically altering how people live life across the globe, and Nepal is fluctuating between lockdown and limited openings in response to the infection rate. During times of crisis, we have always responded swiftly and effectively to help those who are most vulnerable, and now is no exception. Using full PPE equipment and practicing social distancing, our dedicated staff have kept the hospital and four satellite centers open and operating. In the last six months we’ve treated more than 700 children, performed 70 operations at the hospital in Banepa, and conducted three mobile medical camps. We’re also practicing telemedicine for families that can’t travel, fielding more than 2,200 calls.
