In Nepal besteht dringender Bedarf an medizinischen Geräten und Ausrüstungen, sicherem Management von gefährlichem medizinischem Abfall und Zugang zu sauberem und sicherem Wasser. Die Bevölkerung, die mehrheitlich noch nicht geimpft ist, ist weiterhin von mehreren Wellen von COVID-19 betroffen. Während der zweiten Welle sind die COVID-Todesfälle aufgrund mangelnder Sauerstoffversorgung in Nepal weiterhin hoch, aber undokumentiert.
