Dr. Ramu Kharel was invited on BBC News Global to discuss the Nepal flood, especially focusing on the immediate and long term health needs, on BBC Global. You can watch the interview here.

We must confront why disasters of this scale are becoming more likely and why countries such as Nepal, which contributed almost nothing to the climate crisis, are being asked to bear its greatest costs. This is a conversation about climate justice, preparedness, and investing before the next disaster strikes.

HAPSA has been providing post-disaster sanitation kits to flood-affected communities.

HAPSA installed AEDs at Vishal Bazaar and Tribhuvan International Airport. AEDs are useful in such high-traffic areas to be prepared to respond quickly to sudden cardiac arrest.

HAPSA Nepal launched the Community Emergency Response Toolkit, providing CPR and Choking First Aid training to teachers and students at Durbar High School.

HAPSA released a Nepali CPR song with the aim of improving the ability to respond to cardiac arrest with step-by-step instructions and rhythm.
