Support from all well wishers are needed to ensure provision of high quality healthcare to children in Nepal. KPALS UK is a registered charity that will help KIOCH [Kathmandu Institute of Child Health] deliver it across the country, whether they are poor or rich, urban or remote, high class or marginalized groups.
Almost 25% of the population in Nepal lives in poverty. Over 40% of Nepal's population is below the age of 18 years, which amounts to almost 12 million children. Disparities in health outcomes by gender, ethnicity, and geographical location exist. KIOCH established in 2017 aims to deliver integrated multispecialty high-quality child healthcare that is affordable, accessible, and available to all, through establishment of a multi-specialty children hospital in Kathmandu and to expand high-quality child healthcare through establishing satellite centers in strategic locations of all seven provinces of Nepal. KPALS UK will support them by assisting in the provision of equipment, facilities, and training ancillary to those provided by the NHS.
