Having worked in Nepal since 2007, Doctors of the World responded to the emergency, providing medical, material and humanitarian aid to victims of the earthquakes which occurred on 25 April and 12 May 2015.
The first earthquake, measuring 7.8 was the most devastating for almost a century. Violent after-shocks caused landslides and buildings to collapse. Almost 70% of the country’s infrastructure was destroyed, including almost 80% of health facilities.
The situation is still far from resolved. The Nepalese healthcare system is still suffering from the impact of the two earthquakes and communities are struggling to return to normal life.
