Nepal Country Overview

Nepal struggles with a myriad of health challenges that hinder the well-being of its population as well as the country's economic development. These range from a weak health system with inadequate infrastructure and human resource shortages to accessibility barriers concerning health information, medicines, and services. These conditions are detrimental to maternal and prenatal health, in particular. Significant investment is required to strengthen Nepal's health system and improve the country’s health outcomes.

Since 2006, IMA World Health has built and supported integrated, holistic and sustainable health systems that increase access to quality health care in fragile countries. IMA World Health supports health systems at the national, subnational and community levels, providing tailored assistance and capacity strengthening, especially in maternal, prenatal and child health care, that boosts engagement, capability and investment at all levels of a country’s health system. In Nepal, IMA World Health works alongside our fellow Corus International organizations, including Lutheran World Relief, to holistically address the interconnected challenges of poverty, education, health care access and climate change. Lutheran World Relief has worked in Nepal since 2009, reaching indigenous, Dalit and marginalized communities with programs in agriculture, food security, entrepreneurship, climate resilience, disaster risk reduction and humanitarian assistance. Our holistic approach prioritizes women and youth and helps communities and systems to build the resilience they need to thrive.
