International Medical Corps Response to Nepal: One Month Update

By Robert Rutherford | Resource Development Officer

International Medical Corps was on the ground, delivering care, just 48 hours after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck on April 25.

Since April, International Medical Corps has:

Provided nearly 3,800 health consultations in 21 remote villages in Dhading and Gorkha, near the epicenter of the quake. Our teams often traveled by helicopter to reach the most remote villages – some 9 hours from the nearest road access point.
Mobilized medication and medical supplies to provide care for 30,000 people for three months
Built 300 emergency latrines to provide access to safe sanitation for 6,650 people;
And more.

Attached, please also find an overview of the first month of our response.

Moving forward, International Medical Corps will continue to work with the Ministry of Health to restore health care, rebuild health infrastructure, deliver urgently-needed supplies, and help communities continue to recover.

Thank you, again, for all that you do to make our work possible.
