Possible Health Nepal
My name is Harihar Neupane. I am the Dolakha district, Lakuri Danda health post incharge. My home is Bhimeshor, ward no. 10, Dolakha. .
.
I work in Lakuri Danda Health Post. Dolakha fell victim to the earthquake of 25th April 2015 and the Lakuri Danda village was not spared. It was Saturday here, so I wasn't in. The phone lines were down. After seeing the status of the district headquarters and surrounding houses, I assumed there was nothing left here in this village. So I came in at 9AM with five tents for temporary shelter. Once I arrived, I saw that all of the homes were destroyed. The health post was also completely destroyed. Initially, with a few volunteers, we went around to assess the damage and provided first aid to those with minor injuries. With whatever medicine we could recover buried in the rubble from the collapsed health post we used to begin treating the injured out in open ground. We continued to provide essential care during this crucial time. .
.
Before the health post was established, people had to travel two to three hours to the nearest health post in Boch village. If that failed, they had to visit the district headquarters in Charikot carrying patients for five to six hours. Once we were aware that most of our village was destroyed by the earthquake, my colleagues and I traveled around a few days after to provide basic healthcare to ward numbers one to six and provided basic medicine such as electrolytes, iron tablets, Cetamol, and for minor fever, Cotrim and Zine tablets. We visited all areas and spoke to the mothers and volunteers about primary healthcare, sanitation, healthy food and cleanliness. We didn't face serious injuries and were successful by treating minor injuries during the earthquake.
