Madeline Fields, MD, and Lara Marcuse, MD, Professors of Neurology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Co-Directors of the Mount Sinai Epilepsy Center, recently traveled to Nepal to expand neurological care for underserved communities. 

In response to this urgent need, three psychiatry experts from Mount Sinai—Jan Schuetz-Mueller, MD, Rachel Fischer, MD, and Melanie Brown, MD, MSc—recently taught an intensive week-long course in global mental health for Nepali  students (public health, nursing, medicine, and physiotherapy), faculty, and researchers at Dhulikhel Hospital Kathmandu University Hospital and Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences.

Dhulikhel Hospital and the AMPATH Nepal partnership recently launched an Adolescent Health Clinic at the hospital.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global crisis, and Nepal is no exception. The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to drug-resistant bacteria, making common infections harder to treat. Dhulikhel Hospital, in collaboration with the Arnhold Institute for Global Health at Mount Sinai and the AMPATH Nepal Partnership, has launched an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program - an initiative that ensures responsible antibiotic use to prevent resistance while providing the best possible treatment for patients.

The AMPATH Nepal partnership has launched a new program to improve access to emergency care in remote regions of Nepal called Project ECHO.

Global IMPACT, a pediatric emergency medicine project was selected as one of the Nepal Pilot Projects.
