Reaching net zero emissions: Options contributes to British Expertise International report on role of the built environment

In Nepal, Options’ Nepal Health Sector Support Programme (NHSSP) has been at the forefront of designing hospitals and health facilities that integrate climate resilience into structures that can withstand earthquakes of high magnitude. Our visionary designs and innovative engineering create spaces that deliver good quality health services, are safe and welcoming, and augment the natural environment.
