Construction has started to help improve a large room that will be used as a staff conference room, library and lounge. We are all very excited to have a space where staff can get together to learn and to relax while off-duty.

As a part of our mission to build a leading health care facility in Far-Western Nepal, continuing medical education is an important piece of our work. Our health assistants continue to learn and solidify their knowledge during daily teaching rounds where staff and volunteers give lectures on various disease processes and appropriate management. The following day, staff are given a short quiz to test their understanding of the topic presented the day before.

After months of planning for a new laboratory, the dream of storing and giving blood to patients was recently made a reality. The plans were finalized at a meeting that included members from the community, the Nepal Red Cross Society, and Bayalpata Hospital.

In order to build a stronger and closer staff, Nyaya Health’s Country Director Gregory Karelas has started the weekly ritual of Thursday Tea Time, also known as “T3.” Staff members meet on the hill top “hotels” (cafes) to enjoy some hot chia (tea) while chatting amongst one another.

GaRDeF (Gangotri Rural Development Forum) is a regional NGO working on HIV/AIDS issues. It has excellent network in rural areas in the far-western and mid-western districts in Nepal. Thanks to GaRDeF, Bayalpata Hospital now has a condom dispenser for patients in our outpatient department waiting area. GaRDeF will be responsible for refilling this dispenser and giving us information on how many condoms are taken by patients on a monthly basis. We hope that this will help decrease the burden of HIV and AIDS in Achham.
