Dhulikhel Hospital embedding COVID appropriate mea

Dhulikhel Hospital embedding COVID appropriate measures including the installation of emergency sanitation infrastructure, disinfectant production, socially distanced senior management meetings and deployment of military assistance.
The PPF has provided financial support for the installation of hand hygiene stations in the Hospital and its outreach centres.
The Hospital is one of 3 COVID19 testing sites in the country.
While reported cases are relatively low, there is concern that once closed borders reopen there will be severe threats when thousands of stranded Nepalese migrant workers return to Nepal.

Today is World Toilet Day. PP started the village

Today is World Toilet Day. PP started the village sanitation program in 2007, leading teams to build toilet systems in 3 poor villages in Nepal over 8 years. He was exploring moves to other villages by building first a school toilet block, a process that would test the strength of future village toilet construction partnerships. Sadly he was taken from us too soon and these next village based steps ceased. The PPF, through small early steps, is rebuilding and strengthening partnerships new and old, to continue PP’s efforts to improve sanitation and living conditions in Nepal.
