One Sentence Summary: A look at the heath care situation of Jiri valley in Nepal with a focus on the hospital built there in 1957.

Description: A look at the heath care situation of Jiri valley in Nepal with a focus on the hospital built there in 1957. The article starts with the inclusion of a case study of Naramaya from Kopche, a village of Jiri valley, which reveals the status of health care and heath care facilities in Jiri. Historically, indigenous folk healers provided almost all health care in Jiri. Later in 1957, the Jiri hospital was established through the combined efforts of the government of Switzerland and Nepal. The operation of the Jiri hospital remained primarily the responsibility of the Swiss government until 1975, when it was handed over to Nepal government. The article includes a table containing the number of allocated and vacant staff positions during the panchayat and multiparty system at the Jiri hospital and leading diseases in Jiri valley.
