Severe flooding in Nepal has damaged or destroyed seven health facilities, disrupted routine medical services and added pressure on a health system already struggling to cope, according to reporting from the ground. The disaster has also affected mental health in the affected areas.
The damage has left some communities with reduced access to basic care at a time when roads, homes and other infrastructure have also been hit by the floods. Health workers described the system as unprepared for the scale of the emergency.
Routine appointments and ongoing treatment have been interrupted as facilities deal with the aftermath. The flooding has also created new needs for psychological support among people coping with loss and displacement.
The situation comes after days of catastrophic flooding in Nepal, where emergency responders and local health services are trying to restore access to care while assessing the full extent of the damage.
