Health
Sector
The majority of Nepal’s
people experience severe health problems due
to the lack of health care education, medical
services, and resources in Nepal. Most of the
country’s health care centers are centralized
in the capital and few other cities of the country.
A Majority of the rural people in the country
are unable to receive proper health treatment
service due to the lack of sufficient treatment
centers and health workers in rural areas. RCDP-Nepal
invites compassionate volunteers to bolster
lessen this problem in an effort to boost the
quality of health care for disadvantaged Nepali
people.
Moreover, the doctor-patient
ratio is very poor, with one doctor caring for
approximately 16,000 patients-even in cities.
The lack of availability of qualified health
care workers has resulted in many health problems
in Nepal.
Your role as a volunteer:
Volunteers for health care projects assist local
doctors and medical staff with the treatment
of patients. Volunteers are also involved in
other hospital activities such as record keeping,
sanitation, nutrition, and patient education.
Whatever your level of experience in health
and medicine is, your time, devotion and skills
are all that is needed to make a difference
to the lives of diseased and disadvantaged people
of Nepal.
