Editor's Notes
- Good afternoon everybody. My Name is jhapat and today I want to share my experience of working in Rural Nepal.
- This slide is a brief overview of who Nyaya is, including our two-fold mission and basic stats about the organization An important aspect of the organization is that Nyaya does not pay any expatriate consultants and only employs Nepalis in all work
- - This slide simply meant to show the audience where Nepal is, and that Nyaya works in the Achham district in Nepal (circled in red)
- This slide is designed to offer the audience a quick understanding of the poverty of rural Nepal These stats are for the Achham district where Nyaya works. It’s not necessary to discuss all of them, however focusing on a few stats will help the audience understand how poor the district is, and some of the barriers to delivering healthcare. These stats include a large district (250,000 population) with no doctors and nearest health care facilities far away (10-14 hours by bus). Education is very poor (low literacy) and also highlights the disparity between men and women’s access to education. Many women and children die in birth, and the high migration of men to India for work results in a high prevalence of HIV (men working in India will have sex and bring HIV back to their wives in Nepal). Children are unhealthy (60% malnutrition) and the average salary is very low.
- - This slide summarizes the Sanfe Bagar Primary Health Center, which was Nyaya’s first project in Achham. Nyaya opened the health center in April of 2008, bringing the first doctor to the district and providing completely free care to patients. The clinic operated for 13 months and treated over 17,000 patients, and then in June of 2009 Nyaya moved services to the Bayalpata Hospital in partnership with the Nepali Ministry of Health and Population.
- After operating the Sanfe Bagar Health Center for a year, Nyaya joined in a partnership with the Nepali Ministry of Health and Population to open the abandoned Bayalpata Hospital, only a few kilometers from Sanfe Bagar. Nyaya’s goals are to develop infrastructure and health care capacity in partnership with the public sector. Nyaya does not seek to develop a parallel health care system and believes strongly that working with the government will ensure sustainable health care system development. As a result, Nyaya focuses on training of health workers and development of infrastructure.Nyaya has signed a 5 year contract with the Ministry after which time the Ministry will assume control of the Hospital During the 5 year period of the contract the Ministry will supply 40% of costs for the Hospital, and Nyaya will provide 60%. All services offered at the hospital are completely free.
- This slide summarizes the services currently offered at Bayalpata Hospital and our planned expansion over 2010 and 20111. Out patient clinic.2. in patient services 3. Laboratory and pharmacy services 4. emergency and obstetric services 5. ultrasound 6. Ambulance service 7. Community health workers. 8. ART and DOTS clinic.
- Constructing effective healthcare facilities requires planning and community involvement. COVER POINTS ON SLIDE
- Human resources form the core backbone of a health system. Additional point re: physicians: In Nepal, the overall physician: citizen ratio is 1 in 70,000; in Kathmandu, the capital city, that number is 1:5,000. In Achham, prior to the arrival of Nyaya Health, it was 1:500,000
- COVER POINTS ON SLIDE Additional point re: Continuing medical education (CME): Expatriate physicians and other experts are critical to our CME efforts. Nyaya has established relationships with external universities to improve our overall delivery of care. The broader focus is to build the skills and competencies of the local staff on-site who form the foundation of the Nepali health system.
- Telecommunications is an integral component to Nyaya's ability to offer health care services in the rural and impoverished Achham district. Both our clinical and administrative capacities are reliant upon consistent and reliable communication technologies. COVER POINTS ON SLIDE
- Nyaya Health has all financial information publicly available on our wiki to ensure full transparency. Our team has extensive experience in the non-profit sector, and a key compomnent of Nyaya's mission is to advocate for increased transparency throughout the global health community. Nyaya's wiki offers us an easy and readily exportable model to achieve further transparency in this type of work.
- With expansion of services, shortage of human resourcesResidents can provide training to staff
- Born and brought up in Darna, Accham a 5 hour walk from Bayalpata HospitalPursued medicine in Eastern Nepal and got involved with Nyaya during 2007 through my senior. Came as the medical director in March 2008. Oversaw clinical services and community health worker programGot the chance to give back to the community I was from.
