OUTCOME 1: Community people have increased access to mental health and psychosocial service at local level CMC-Nepal worked at 4 local level of Surkhet and 2 local level of Jajarkot districts to develop access of mental health and psychosocial service. CMC-Nepal contributed to increase access in additional 6 health facilities of those (rural) municipalities. 8 medical officers and paramedics of the selected health facilities of Jajarkot and Surkhet districts received mhGAP training in this reporting period. This training was organized by Ministry of Social Development of Karnali Province in technical support of CMC-Nepal. CMC-Nepal has made continued effort to strengthen the knowledge and skills of trained health workers of Udayapur and Okhaldhunga districts in mental health and psychosocial support. Mental health clinical supervision and Continued Medical Education (CME) was continued in all project districts to further build the confidence in diagnosis and treatment of people with mental health problems.

Mental health service is available in 13 health facilities of 13 (rural) municipalities and CMC-Nepal will develop access in 3 health facilities in the second half of the year. Trained health workers provided mental health services to 3645 clients (1738 new & 1907 old) from their respective health facilities.

One peer group in each school is formed and started to capacitate them to know more about the risk of suicidal thoughts and referral mechanism for suicidal cases. Students and teachers have been sensitized in mental health issues and taught to contribute for the protection and fulfilment of the rights of the persons with psychosocial disabilities.

    Nepal Population Estimates as of May 1, 2015 For more on methodology, updates and datasets: www.flowminder.org & www.worldpop.org The Flowminder team pioneered the analysis of mobile network data to support responses to natural disasters and epidemics (Zanzibar 2009 malaria, Haiti 2010 earthquake and cholera outbreak). WorldPop is the leading open data repository for population densities and distributions, and is Flowminder’s main dissemination platform. Nepal has 23 million mobile phone subscribers out of a population of 27 million people. Ncell has a market share of 46% [1]. For these estimates we analyze the movements of de-identified Ncell SIM cards which made or received at least one call during the week prior to the earthquake (April 25) and which also made or received at least one call after the earthquake. The former criterion excludes relief workers arriving after the earthquake, while the latter excludes SIM cards that were lost or destroyed in the earthquake. Population movement estimates are calculated by combining de-identified data on SIM card movements with available population data. Changes in mobility pattern are identified by comparing SIM card movements to normal pre-earthquake movements. Estimates will be updated and calibrated as more data becomes available. Processing infrastructure is currently being developed to allow timely future updates. Mobile phone use is relatively lower in several groups including women, children, the elderly, and the poorest. If these groups have substantially different movement patterns than groups with high mobile phone use, results will be biased. In general the relative distributions of flows across the country are more reliable than absolute numbers given per area.
