“Health projects in Nepal are going from strength to strength. In the seven health centres  PHASE health workers have seen a total of 41,422 patients, provided 2,545 couples with family planning, delivered 115 babies, provided antenatal and postnatal care to hundreds of women, and delivered 699 instances of health education in clinics schools and in the community.

In Humla UNICEF is working with PHASE Nepal to turn one of the health centres into a birthing centre.   

In Gorkha district, where PHASE currently operates 3 health projects, the district government approached Jiban with the proposal that PHASE take over the running of all seven remote northern Sub Health Posts. Both the District and the communities themselves are prepared to contribute substantial funds. With an extra £10,000 per year all seven health posts will then run effectively. We are now looking at ways of getting these funds guaranteed.”
