Summary

We believe strongly that Nepal can be as healthy as it is beautiful.

The world is looking at Nepal’s healthcare to get a sense of reference for themselves. How is Nepal’s healthcare managing itself? The million dollar question is: What is the criteria that we should use to measure the success of Nepal’s healthcare system?

Barack Obama recently described the American Healthcare System as being in a state of crisis. The question for us naturally follows: if America's healthcare system is in a state of crisis, would it be an exaggeration to consider Nepal's healthcare system to be an emergency? Would it be an over-reaction for us Nepalese to seriously consider the pros and cons in declaring a state of emergency to Nepal's healthcare system?

And as much as we acknowledge that both the United States and Nepal both have an active interest to improve it's healthcare system, it would be naive to think that both nations have the same priorities in healthcare improvement. 

Who are we waiting for to take the first step in improving the healthcare of Nepal? Where are we expecting the solution to come from? What does it mean to think globally in terms of health but to act locally? 

One of the biggest challenges in a country like Nepal is inspiring healthcare workers to go to rural locations. But don't be fooled. In terms of rural health, Nepal is making some great strides. We can see that through successful projects like Nyaya Health and educating the indigenous population in rural locations instead of trying to import them from the city. What are the differences in the challenges  for us in improving quality of health in the city versus rural areas? 

How could you help promote health among Nepalese?

These are the important questions that NepalIsHealthy.com is seeking to explore for you and I.
