Health Improvement Programme: Securing Health Rights for Disadvantaged Grou - Project
Project overview
In the Eastern Region of Nepal only about a quarter of sick people visit health institutions during illness, women hesitate to visit health institutions because of a lack of female health workers, nine out of ten deliveries take place at home and of these only one out of three use a safe delivery kit. As a result health indicators are poor, particularly amongst disadvantaged groups such as dalits, ethnic minorities and other marginalized groups.
