What specific problem are you solving?
In rural Nepal, particularly in Karnali Province, people face significant barriers in accessing quality healthcare due to geographic isolation and fragmented systems. Municipal and district hospitals operate in storage tower, leading to poor communication, delayed diagnoses, and incomplete health records. This lack of integration delays effective referrals, treatment continuity, and data-driven decision-making, leaving vulnerable populations underserved.
NHN solution Digital Health for Transforming Healthcare in Karnali's Rural Communities, aims to address these challenges by implementing an integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. By connecting municipal and district hospitals, the project will ensure quality care, reduce medical errors, and enhance healthcare delivery. The solution will also integrate with Nepal’s HMIS and DHIS2 system and leverage data visualization tools like Power BI to empower healthcare workers with actionable insights for better decision-making.
This digital transformation will make quality healthcare more accessible to remote communities, ensuring continuity of care and improving health outcomes. By bridging the gap between isolated healthcare facilities, the project aims to create a more efficient, coordinated, and equitable healthcare system for Karnali’s underserved populations. Through technology, solution will bring quality care to those who need it most, transforming lives and building a healthier future for rural Nepal.
