Project Description Region: Asia Country: Nepal Location: Dhulikhel Total Budget: $147,058 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing public health concern in Nepal, with increasing cases attributed to diabetes, hypertension, and limited awareness. However, access to dialysis treatment remains inadequate, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. This project aims to address the healthcare gap by installing dialysis machines in strategically selected hospitals across Nepal, improving affordability, accessibility, and survival rates of CKD patients. Nepal has a limited number of dialysis centers, with the majority concentrated in urban hubs like Kathmandu and Pokhara. Many patients in remote districts are forced to travel long distances or go untreated due to a lack of facilities. According to the Nepal Health Research Council, CKD is among the top 10 causes of mortality. Early intervention and access to dialysis can significantly reduce fatality. The cost and travel burden disproportionately affect lower-income families, often pushing them below the poverty line due to long-term treatment expenses. Objectives 1. Install the 10 dialysis machine at Dhulikhel Hospital 2. Provide life-saving dialysis treatment to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who would otherwise go untreated. 3. Awareness of chronic kidney disease The timeline of this project is one year. All the funds will be used for the setup of the dialysis machine and training associated with it. Members of the Rotary Club will be involved in project designing and implementing.
