Kathmandu, Nepal: May 5, 2015: To prepare for a natural disaster like the magnitude 7.8 earthquake, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital improved its physical infrastructure and resiliency by fastening furniture to walls, laminating windows, stockpiling supplies in strategic locations and installing a seismic proof blood blank. These simple steps helped the Hospital remain functional after the earthquake. They also inspired many healthcare workers to take similar step in their own homes.
