    The Ministry of Health and population of Nepal have developed National Health Sector Program - Implementation Plan (NHSP-IP) to cover the period of 2004-2009. The key focus of the NHSP-IP is to strengthen the Essential Health Care Services program (EHCS) at all levels of care with the ultimate objective of improving the health status of the people of Nepal.
    http://www.who.int/countryfocus/cooperation_strategy/ccs_npl_en.pdf (accessed on 22.04.2009) Nepal has made progress over the years in raising the health status of its population, particularly through expansion of immunization for vaccine-preventable diseases and priority disease interventions. Major communicable diseases still persist and are a major public health problem. At the same time, diseases related to life style and risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, CVD, cancer etc.) are increasing. Population growth remains high compared to the other countries in the Region. http://www.who.int/countryfocus/cooperation_strategy/ccs_npl_en.pdf   (accessed on 22.04.2009).
