Resilient Health Infrastructure in Nepal

Partenaire de mise en œuvre: Build Change

Project name:Resilient health infrastructure in Nepal

To strengthen hospital safety and resilience across Nepal, CDRI and WHO SEARO collaborated on a project assessing seven provincial hospitals using a bespoke WHO Hospital Safety Index.

Through capacity-building workshops and field assessments, provincial hospital staff acquired crucial expertise in disaster risk management and resilience strategies. The comprehensive assessment reports provide policymakers in Nepal with valuable insights to enhance hospital safety and resilience nationwide.

The project continues to provide expert guidance and actionable solutions for enhancing hospital preparedness nationwide.

Impact

1

Each evaluated hospital has gained valuable insight into safety gaps, disaster risks, and resilience tools. Strengthened with this knowledge, facilities are strategically planning interventions to strengthen disaster preparedness and improve infrastructure safety for long-term resilience.

2

Fifty healthcare stakeholders in Nepal were trained to utilize the customized WHO Hospital Safety Index. Now equipped with expertise, they can support future safety evaluations across more health facilities, expanding the impact of resilience initiatives nationwide.

3

Key policy recommendations based on the project’s findings have been submitted to the Nepal government. These will help shape national policies and advance disaster risk reduction goals, fostering safer, more resilient health facilities across the country.
