BASE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES COVID-19 SUPPORT
Nepal Needs Our Help, Now More Than Ever
Nepal is grappling with the deadly second wave of COVID-19 which has put an enormous strain on the existing medical infrastructure. The country is running out the oxygen supply, minimum PCR tests and shortage of essential medicines has worsened the life of marginalized people living in the villages. Numbers of people in the villages are struggling with the common symptoms of the Covid infection but they lack safety kits, life-saving medicines and medical care access.
With the generous support of our partners, local governments, stakeholders and members we have conducted medical camp with a team of doctor and health workers in the villages.
Between the dates of May 27th – 29th, 2021, the team has examined health of 227 (139 female and 88 male) people along with medical counseling as well as essential basic medication.
Out of 227 people, 195 people found struggling with the common symptoms to Covid-19 but only 7 have got access to PCR test. The medical camp team had 11 Antigen tests out of which 3 are found positive and have been directed about safety precautions.
