Asha Health Care

Asha means ‘hope' in Nepalese, and our partner's healthcare services aim to improve children's lives and reduce child mortality.  We work with the poorest and most disadvantaged children in the city of Pokhara and the surrounding mountain villages, who would otherwise have no access to free primary healthcare.  The range of services is diverse and versatile, in order that we can respond to the changing needs of the client groups we work with.

Asha Health Care is divided into six sub-programmes with specific teams who ensure the level of care they provide meets the needs of their client groups:

    * Asha Day Clinic - the main hub for our health services
    * Asha Hostel - accommodation during longer term treatment
    * Asha Mobile Clinics - for outlying slum and village communities
    * Asha Village Health - for mountain villages
    * Asha Safe Motherhood - for mothers and pregnant women
    * Asha Youth Health - for street and working children
