Since more than 10 years ago Bal-Balika-Nepal is voluntarily involved in medical checks and primary health care for children in Nepal.

Some 100 assistants and aides belong to the Bal-Balika-Nepal team in Nepal, which medically cared for more than 9,000 children since then.

Objective of the project

• Improvement of the medical situation of children in Nepal
• Cooperation with local doctors, health workers und medical nursing staff to enable them to assume the responsibility for the medical checks independent of Bal-Balika (empowerment of self-help)
• Support with medical care and goods, as the economic and political in Nepal is quite difficult and complicated
• Improvement of the hygienic conditions
• Development, support and improvement of the children’s education

What we are doing

• Medical health checks (preventive and curative pediatric care) and treatment on location in orphanages, nunneries, boardings schools, refugee camps, with a high rate of unmet healthrelated needs

• Documentation of quality data ,reflecting the improvement of hygiene and health
• Annual medical reports and practical advice to the local community
• Monitoring of multivitamine and anaemia treatment programs
• Scientific data analysis of local public health conditions
• Community benefits,,as we prioritize local needs and support long term efforts

What we have reached so far
