To provide access to basic health services to the population of the Region of Humla, in Nepal.

Educate the importance of health and hygenic habits.

Health us Nepal in a NGO loctaed in Humla, in the middle of the Himalayas. It is a very impoverished area, so remote and abrupt that the government itself dedicates hardly no investment. There are no roads (Closest one is 5 journeys on foot, 80km) and the average walk between villages is 4-5 hours. The capital, Simikot, is is above 3,000m, with mountains around between 4-6.000m. high. Merciless temperatures hinder growing crops, affecting nutrition, generating serious malnutrition diseases. Humla’s life expectancy rate is below Nepal’s average, only 58 years old, being its Human Development Index (HDI) only 0,37.

In order to provide access to basic health services to the population and improve their living conditions, a Medical center was created in Simikot. The center was equiped with a pharmacy, a room to attend patients, a bathroom, an office to store medicines and medical materials and some basic furniture.

• Buy medicines and medical supplies
• Attend medical visits
• Treat minor and major diseases
• Attend childbirths
• Educate on healthy habits

More than 3,000 people, mostly children and women, will benefit directly.
