Dear all,
Through our ongoing efforts, PHASE Nepal continues to strengthen healthcare access and improve the well-being of vulnerable populations in remote regions like Mugu. Our health interventions aim to prevent complications and ensure early treatment for children and families living in hard-to-reach areas.
We would like to share with you the story of Dipak Acharya ( name changed) , a 4-year-old boy from Jaishibada, Ward No. 10 of Soru Rural Municipality in Mugu, whose life was significantly improved through timely intervention at the Dhainakot Health Post.
Dipak's mother brought him to the Dhainakot Health Post at around 1:30 PM on 1st Feb 2025, concerned by his shortness of breath and fever that had lasted 4–5 days.
Our health workers also detected wheezing in his chest, indicating a respiratory infection. He was diagnosed with pneumonia and immediately managed according to the CB-IMNCI (Community-Based Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses) protocol.
He was treated by our staff. His mother was also counseled on danger signs and given instructions on when to return to the clinic.
At the 5-day follow-up, Dipak’s condition had significantly improved. His updated vital signs were within normal range, his chest examination was normal, and he was back to his playful, energetic self.
Dipak’s mother says “Thank you, PHASE Nepal, for treating my child and guiding me. I am so happy that he is well again.”
Dipak's story is one among many that show the vital role that accessible and timely healthcare plays in saving lives in remote areas. Your continued support enables us to respond swiftly and effectively to such health emergencies by providing health staff and medicine and make a real difference in these communities.
Thank you for standing with us.
Warm regards,
The PHASE Nepal Team
