BTW I don't know the real scenario regarding your query about nepal but I would not expect it to be much different from what I have found ... child death== 9 out of 100 childred die before their fifth birthday in SA, Around half of the deaths occur after the first month and are due to common preventable and treatable conditions, such as diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, dengue haemorrhagic fever and malnutrition. every minute roughly four people die of Tb and 15 develop a new case and one third of these live in ASIA Two thirds of people in Asia and the Pacific lack access to safe water, including 300 million in China alone source:http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/openThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=31311 and there are immense possibilities on improving the situation... anyone interested???
