Health service of Nepal

                Health is considered as another important infrastructure of development. Even the educated people need to be healthy in order to study and work and to be happy.

 Health Services in the past

                Before 2007 BS, there were limited health services. The population was limited and the environment was clean and pollution free. People of that time were healthy. They depended on Ayurvedic medicines. Bir Hospital is the oldest hospital of our country. It was established in 1947 BS , by prime minister Bir Shumsher.

Health Services at present

               At present, Nepal is facing the problems of population growth and environmental pollution. Health facilities are inadequate for the growing population. The majority of the people are suffering from poverty and illiteracy. They have poor idea of health and sanitation. So, we have high infant, child and maternal death rate. People are suffering from many diseases like diarrhea, typhoid, encephalitis, etc.
