With heavy heart we report that four medical aid workers were killed in a helicopter crash in $41.8 M REQUESTED Sindhupalchok district on 2 June 2015. *Availability of accurate information on health facilities’ status from seriously affected sites is a major challenge for the MoHP PAGE 1 Situation update The Government reported a total of 505,745 houses destroyed and 279,330 damaged by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake on 25 April and the 7.3 quake on 12 May. The public health consequences of the earthquake have been significant as more then 22, 000 people injured in earthquake and a total 1003 health facilities, mostly village health post often serving the population in hard to reach area of the highly affected 14 districts have been damaged and rendered non-functional. A total of 18 health workers, including 10 Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) lost their lives and other 68 health workers injured. A total of 2778 have undergone major surgery out of which more than 1500 injured have an on-going nursing and rehabilitation needs. As the emergency response transitions into the recovery phase, the health cluster priority activities target to revitalize health service delivery with focus on restoration of Primary Health Care services, through the provision of medical supplies, tents and rehabilitation support ensuring that priorities such as reproductive health, mental health, and child health are coordinated and addressed. Strengthening the communicable disease control and surveillance system, particularly in view of approaching monsoon season remains the key priority for the immediate future. The Ministry of Health and Population’s (MoHP) Early Warning and Response System for epidemic- prone diseases (EWARS) show a generally stabilizing trend in numbers of outbreak prone diseases in the 14 severely affected districts. No major outbreaks have been reported to date. District Public Health Offices (DPHOs) continue to gather information on rumours or other alerts of potential disease outbreaks in the 14 most highly affected districts. The MOHP has been finalizing the Post Disaster Need Assessment (PDNA) and district planning process. PDNA exercise mainly focused on assessing the status of health services and health commodities, infrastructure, governance and risks at the district level. The exercise will help the MoHP and health cluster partners including the external development partners to identify the post disaster needs in order to target the support to districts in implementing the district recovery plan. Forty seven National Medical Teams with diverse skills and expertise including surgical, medical, orthopaedics, gynaecologists, obstetrics, psychiatrists and psychosocial counsellors have been deployed to the affected district in order to support the management of post trauma rehabilitation and mental health problem arising from the earthquakes. In addition, 25 FMTs comprising of 463 persons including 135 doctors and 145 nurses are currently working in the earthquake-affected districts. Table below taken from MOHP sitrep (2 June 2015) provides a snapshot of casualties per districts.

As of 3 June 2015 a total of 24 health cluster partners in Bhaktapur, 40 in Kathmandu and 18 in Lalitpur district have been involved in the health cluster response (based on 4Ws information) The field hospitals established by FMTs have completed the initial services of mass casualty management and now services are being covered by the normal hospital services, except the Cuban Medical Team (CMT) in Kirtipur. The Injury Rehabilitation sub-cluster has identified a number of large step-down facilities with rehabilitation and nursing services available in the Kathmandu Valley. The main centres include: Cuban FMT at Kirtipur, Anandaban TLM Hospital (Laltipur), Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre (Sanga), Nepal Youth Foundation and Patanjali Yogpeeth. These facilities have a capacity of total of 315 beds. The National Tuberculosis Centre jointly with the cluster partners has been working to ensure the post-earthquake care for the TB patients including the tracing and continuity of medication. The MOHP has confirmed that free follow up services will be provided in public hospitals in Kathmandu and the district hospitals in the 14 affected districts for one year. Hospitals in Kathmandu include TUTH, Bir, Patan, Army Hospital, Civil Hospital, Police Hospital, Dulikhel and Nepal Orthopedic Hospital.

  • Nepal: Children Caught in the Conflict

    Nepal: Children Caught in the Conflict

    Previous Nepal Children caught in the conflict Nepal has been gripped by a brutal internal armed conflict between the security forces and Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (Maoist) rebels for the last nine years, during which more than 12,000 people have died. Nepal’s civilians are caught between the two sides and are experiencing extreme violence and hardship. While the violence is affecting all sections of society, Nepali children are being impacted particularly harshly and in very specific ways. The most fundamental rights of children, provided by general human rights treaties and particularly by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), as well as by international humanitarian law treaties and rules of customary international law, have been violated. Children are being killed deliberately or in indiscriminate attacks, illegally detained, tortured, raped, abducted and recruited for military activities. Many Nepali children have for a long time experienced extreme poverty, lack of access to basic services, discrimination against girls and Dalit children, trafficking and sexual and commercial exploitation. The conflict is exacerbating many of these already existing abuses and eroding recent progress towards improving the lives of children. Children killed in the conflict According to children’s NGOs(1) at least 400 children have died in conflict related violence since 1996. However, with little information available from Nepal’s most remote districts and with many families inhibited from reporting killings due to widespread fear and no hope of justice, the true number of children killed is likely to be far higher. Extrajudicial executions by the security forces have been a constant feature of the conflict and the scale of these killings has increased significantly in the last year(2).

    Gaurishankar Conservation Area - a Prime Habitat for Red Panda (Ailurus Fulgens) in Central Nepal

    The Initiation Gaurishankar Conservation Area - A Prime Habitat for Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) in Central Nepal Arjun Thapa1 Sunil Thapa1 and Shambu Poudel2 Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract: Globally threatened Red Panda is found in isolated high mountain’s bamboo- forest patches in Nepal, India, Bhutan, China and Burma. This study was focused in Gaurishankar Conservation Area, one of the newly declared protected areas of Nepal, with aim to glean baseline information regarding existence of Red Panda, its habitat status and conservation issues. Methods like altitudinal line intercept, key informant survey and consultation (with local people, herders, conservation stakeholder) were used to address the objectives. Marbu, Kalinchok, Gaurishankar (Dolkha District), Chuchure, Gumdel (Ramechhap District) and Fulpingkatti (Sindupalchok District) area were surveyed in first phase of study and presence of Red Panda distribution was recorded from Marbu, Kalinchok, Chuchure and Fulpingkatti forests areas through sign evidence (fecal pellets). A total of 24 transects were established randomly in the whole area and only 16 transects were worked effectively because of topographical barrier. Distribution of Red Panda was found as clumped pattern ( ). Among these sites, frequent sign encounter was recorded in Marbu (5.45/km) area followed by Fulpingkatti (5.06/km), Kalinchok (3.73/km) and Chuchre (1.67/km). Like in other areas, conservation issues like habitat destruction, livestock pressure, fire wood collection and illegal poaching were rampant in Gaurishankar also. This study recommended for detail survey on population status and conservation activities should be elaborated in current identified habitat as well as further survey should be focused on other possible habitats within conservation area.
