**HIGHLIGHTS **

  • On 25 June, the Government of Nepal hosted International Conference on Nepal’s Reconstruction with the aim of raising financial support for reconstruction and resilient recovery of Nepal.
    Nepal’s donor partners and neighbours pledged a total of USD 4.4 billion against the Post Disaster Needs Assessment estimate of USD 6.7 billion worth of damage from the earthquake.

  • Slightly more than two months into the response, the health sector priorities have been evolving towards early recovery and rehabilitation of the health services and facilities throughout the affected districts.

  • Seventeen of the 50 Medical Camp Kits (MCKs) have been established in strategic locations in the most affected districts to serve as temporary patient consultation and treatment facilities and ensure continuity of services during the rainy season.

  • Health facilities in the remote area of the most affected districts are at the increased risk of being further isolated due to road blockade caused by floods and landslides during the monsoon season.

  • The Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has adopted post disaster recovery and reconstruction strategy with immediate, intermediate and medium term priorities.
