UNICEF is working with Eli Lilly and Company and the Kathmandu Institute of Child Health to alleviate the high burden of noncommunicable diseases in Nepal.
For the first time, Nepal has been able to export 82 tonnes of haylage, or animal feed, to Tibet’s Shigatse from Chitwan’s Bharatpur Metropolitan City area.
In the last few decades, Nepal has witnessed substantial change in disease patterns. According to Nepal Burden of Disease Study 2019, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for almost 71 per cent of total deaths, while communicable, maternal neonatal and nutritional (CMNN) diseases account for 21 per cent and injuries account for 8 per cent of total deaths.
