In Nepal’s remote regions, distance and limited training resources can make it harder for healthcare workers to build and maintain critical emergency response skills. Strengthening Basic Emergency Care (BEC) has become a national priority, especially given Nepal’s challenging geography and disaster risk profile.

The kits will be distributed to the National Health Training Center (NHTC), HEOC, and provincial health training centers to strengthen BEC training across the country.
