| Organization Description: |
| HDCS TEAM Hospital Dadeldhura is located in the Far Western Hills of Nepal and has served our community for over 40 years. Our roots lie in care for patients with TB and leprosy, and we remain committed to seeking to combat these issues both in our community and in the surrounding districts. We are actively involved in TB case detection and treatment including the recent addition of DOTS Plus. We hope to continue to improve our service to the community through improved case detection, better isolation practices within our facility, improved facilities for our DOTS Plus residents, and through exploring the possibility of being early adapters of the new Xpert technology. |
