A team led by Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol has started monitoring waste management practices of health facilities. The move aims to prevent the practices of mixing up hazardous medical waste with household waste.
Kathmandu Metropolitan City has fined at least two private firms within one week for mixing hospital waste with household waste and dumping it in the Bancharedanda landfill.
I just spent the past hour looking into this organization, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out who is funding it.
Whoever it is, they have enough money to put out very slick, very weird C.

As the world continues to grapple with COVID-19, we have seen our already stretched health systems face additional strains under the pandemic with millions of individuals unable to access care.
Self-care interventions, while not new, are among the most promising approaches to improving health and well-being, both from a health systems perspective and for end-users–particularly for vulnerable persons such as those negatively affected by gender, political, cultural and power dynamics. As we work towards universal health coverage (UHC), rapid advancement in medical and digital technologies is accelerating the range of interventions which were previously delivered by clinical providers that can now be acquired and managed more directly by individuals.
