KATHMANDU, DECEMBER 17: Ncell’s Telemedicine and Health Informatics Programme is facilitating over 80,000 people from more than 15,000 households in underserved rural communities to enjoy access to quality healthcare services.
It was launched in 2019 as part of the private telco’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in collaboration with Dhulikhel Hospital.
The said number of people living in the communities of the project areas in the four community outreach centres of the hospital—Manekharka (Sindhupalchowk), Dorpu (Solukhumbu), Thangsin (Nuwakot) and Bolde Kavrepalchowk—are getting treatments on infectious as well as non-communicable chronic disease.
“What makes this project unique is the Personalised Health Programme (PHP), which provides personalized health services to locals from the project areas. Outreach centres conduct regular health monitoring for timely intervention at the local level and to develop data-driven behaviour change for the betterment of local people’s health,” claims a press release issued lately by Ncell.
The PHP is sad to have been replicated in other hospitals and health centres by the Bagmati Province Government.
