With the invaluable support of Direct Relief, Mountain Heart Nepal has successfully organized medical camps in the earthquake-affected regions of West Rukum and Jajarkot. Starting from Kathmandu, our journey spanned over two days, leading us to the heart of these needy communities.

The medical camp, which began on December 7, 2023, allowed us to provide medical examinations to over 700 individuals within a week. These health checks, coupled with the distribution of free medications, directly addressed the critical health needs of the local population.

In response to the varied needs of those affected, we also distributed clothing to pregnant women, lactating mothers, and children. This effort was complemented by providing educational books to schoolchildren, who are now attending classes in makeshift open spaces. These books, published with assistance from Chance for Nepal, a UK-registered charity, not only foster a continued interest in education but also offer vital health and hygiene knowledge.

A significant aspect of our relief work involved distributing Disaster Relief buckets, aimed at supporting the most vulnerable groups - the elderly, single women, and individuals with disabilities who were affected by the earthquake. These buckets symbolize hope and resilience for the recipients.

This initiative was in response to the devastating earthquake that hit the western part of Nepal on November 3, 2023. The quake and its subsequent aftershocks, including a significant 5.8 magnitude event on November 6, caused extensive damage to infrastructure and homes. Many partially damaged houses were completely destroyed.

The aftermath of the earthquake has left many in a state of trauma, compounded by the harsh realities of living in temporary shelters. The cold weather further exacerbates their already fragile health conditions. Among the most common ailments we encountered were respiratory illnesses, eye and skin infections, and cases of diarrhoea. Moreover, mental health issues were prevalent, with many individuals struggling with sleeplessness and anxiety.

The chronic patients faced a particularly harrowing dilemma – the need to choose between rebuilding their homes and refilling essential medications. This situation underscored the dire circumstances they were navigating through.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Direct Relief for their unwavering support. Their contribution has enabled us to deliver much-needed assistance to these communities. Our joint efforts have provided medical aid and conveyed a strong message of solidarity, hope, and the importance of education during these challenging times.

The images showcased here capture the essence of our medical camp in Jajarkot. These photographs provide a glimpse into the vital services and support we've been able to offer to the local community in the aftermath of the recent earthquake.

Nepal was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 richter scale on 09 Nov 2022 causing injuries, deaths, and structural damage. The epicenter of the earthquake was at the Khaptad National Park in the Doti district which is about 430 Km west of the capital, Kathmandu. Several aftershocks followed the initial earthquake. The aftershock of 5.4 magnitudes on 12 Nov 2022 in the nearby Bajhang district further damaged the unstable structures sending people out of their homes for several weeks.

With immediate assistance from Direct Relief medical volunteers from Mountain Heart Nepal delivered relief materials to the 50 affected families living in Purbichauki Rural Municipality (Doti) and Thalara Rural Municipality (Bajhang). We also conducted mobile health camps and offered free health services and prescription refills to more than 400 residents.

Nepal is still rebuilding after two major earthquakes in 2015 that killed almost 9000 people.

Our Story

The solid core of Mountain Heart Nepal is mostly made up out of medical professionals who were either working or doing an internship in various hospitals in Kathmandu at the time of the earthquake in 2015. They were confronted first hand with mass casualties as a direct result of the earthquake and managed, facilitated and offered hands on care to a huge flow of patients with a variety of injuries presenting themselves.

After the initial influx of patients following the disaster, many of these health workers felt it was necessary to help out with ongoing issues. The earthquakes and persistent aftershocks resulted in people being displaced in temporary camps and shelters, while other more remote communities stayed disconnected from health care facilities for a prolonged time. In order to alleviate the situation of these people, we took it upon ourselves to organize health expeditions to these shelters and communities. To optimize the planning of expeditions and enable collaboration with other institutions, we decided to unite under the non-profit banner of Mountain Heart Nepal.
