EARLY WARNING AND REPORTING SYSTEM (EWARS) ANNUAL REPORT 2022 & 2023

EARLY WARNING AND REPORTING SYSTEM (EWARS) ANNUAL REPORT 2022 & 2023 analyzes EWARS data from 2022 and 2023, highlighting key trends, seasonal disease patterns, and the performance of the reporting system. In 2022, dengue was the most frequently reported disease nationwide, followed by AGE and SARI. However, provincial variations were observed: SARI was most reported in Koshi, AGE in Madhesh and Lumbini, ILI in Karnali, and scrub typhus in Sudurpaschim. In 2023, dengue remained the most reported disease, with AGE leading in Madhesh, Lumbini, and Karnali, while SARI was the most reported in Sudurpaschim. A comparison of data from both years shows a notable increase in reported cases overall, with significant rises in AGE and SARI, although the proportion of dengue cases slightly decreased.

Measuring access to assistive technology in Nepal

Evidence based research findings on the use, need and unmet need is a key metric for planning and improving access to Assistive Products (AP). It is estimated that only 5-15% of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) who need assistive technology (AT) have access to them with few availabilities, affordability and trained personnel. In Nepal, accurate data on the needs of AP is still not yet known. With a growing population of older age, increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases in Nepal, the number of people needing AT is certain to rise. Therefore, the study aims to measure access to AT in Nepal.
