Karma Health has deployed one of the first Electronic Medical Records systems in Nepal in Rajpur. Despite the initial enthusiasm various obstacles have led to a slow deployment and continued reliance on paper records. This post probes into causes and possible recommendations.
People with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension suffer from limited access to clinical care, drugs, and no community outreach. Karma Health aims to strengthen facilities, establish outreach clinics, and provide individualized care through trained community health workers to address these challenges.
Besides limited healthcare facilities, people in the rural village of Khangra, Nepal, face challenges in accessing healthcare due to the absence of roads, telecommunication networks. Bureaucratic hurdles to cross the international border to Indian towns prevent them from accessing emergency medical assistance. Improved infrastructure is critical for enhancing healthcare services here.
