Rapti Municipality, ward no. 13 in Chitwan district, Nepal lies in a very difficult geographical terrain (very hilly area) inhabited by marginalized Chepang communities. National grid electricity has not reached there because of the difficult geographical terrain. The only health post in the entire ward is situated in a village known as Waswang. This health post is a community birthing and general health care center. It was difficult for the patients, attendants, and medical staff in case of any medical emergency during the night time. To enhance the facilities of health care services for the people of ward no. 13, ECCA installed a solar photovoltaic light system in this health post.
“Earlier, we used to rely on dry cell powered torch light, which affected the effectiveness of service delivery. Now it will be very convenient,” said Mr. Chepang, the medical staff.
We thank you for your support.
