Nepal Public Health Stories & Best Practices

A national platform to document, publish and share news, best practices and public health stories from across Nepal.

About the portal

The portal collects practical experience from health facilities, hospitals, primary health care centres, local governments, provincial health authorities, public health professionals, community health workers, researchers, academic institutions, NGOs, INGOs and development partners.

It is a searchable national repository of public health knowledge — not a blog. Every story is structured the same way, so policymakers, researchers, programme managers and development partners can find, compare and replicate what works.

Our objectives

  1. Document successful public health interventions and innovations across Nepal.
  2. Capture best practices and lessons learned from health facilities and local governments.
  3. Promote knowledge exchange between health institutions and professionals.
  4. Identify interventions that can be scaled up and replicated.
  5. Highlight community-led health initiatives and local innovations.
  6. Generate evidence to inform health policy, planning and decision-making.
  7. Build a national repository of public health stories and experiences.
  8. Recognise health facilities and professionals who improve the health system.

What you can submit
