Mid western and far western mountainous districts of Nepal have some of the most remote, isolated and deprived villages in whole Nepal. PHASE has been working in 13 of such villages working to improve health, education and livelihood opportunities of the people there. Here is a short overview of the PHASE's health project in these villages.
Through its community health project ,PHASE has been providing 24-hour primary health service with the help of its dedicated team residing in these villages. PHASE team of registered nurses, health assistants and auxiliary nursing midwives have been providing quality services, awareness activities and free medicines to upgrade the government health posts and out reach clinics in these villages.
In the last six months PHASE team has provided direct clinical services to 47,828 patients through health posts and outreach clinics. Of them 26920 are women and 8895 are children under 5 years. There have been 1137 antenatal checks and 338 successful deliveries by skilled midwives. 2147 new couple have started to use some kind of contraception for birth spacing.
"These numbers shows some positive results of PHASE's intervention. PHASE will continue to work hard to ensure and strengthen health services in these isolated villages."
