Health Information in Nepali

[Gary Shostak]

I have been collecting Health Information Resources in Nepali from a variety of resources around the country. I must thank my friend & former colleague Jessica Goldhirsch for help with this project. I could not have done this without her help.

Many others helped with this effort. I think I have copies everyone I have been in touch with on this email. Thank you to all. 

Please evaluate the information before you use it as I cannot read devanagri and therefore cannot ensure that the information is correct.

Below is a list of resources that provides health information in Nepali and in some cases, many other languages. I hope they prove useful to you and the Bhutanese refugees that you work with.

Best.
