70%
reduction in Nepal’s maternal mortality ratio from 539 deaths per 100,000 livebirths in 1996 to 151 in 2021.
We are proud of our 25-year partnership with the Government of Nepal to build stronger health systems that work for everyone. Over this period, our support has expanded from a focus on ensuring safe motherhood, to strengthening all areas of the health system. As a
trusted partner to the Ministry of Health and Population, we provide embedded technical assistance to federal and sub-national governments.
We are committed to working with the Nepal government and partners to accelerate progress towards universal health coverage through a responsive, holistic approach that supports the country’s efforts to devolve its health system and transition away from aid.
We continue to contribute towards building resilient and equitable systems by leveraging transformative innovations at scale, working collaboratively with partners, and enhancing citizen participation and accountability mechanisms.
