The World Bank has approved a US$ 129.2 million (approximately 9 billion and 163.02 million rupees) aid for providing access to poor Nepalis to essential heath services.
The Second Heath, Nutrition and Population (HNP) and HIV/AIDS Project approved today will support the Nepal Health Sector Program II, the Government of Nepal's five year program (2010-2015), a statement issued by the Bank said. The project will build on the World Bank's on-going support to Nepal's health sector since 2004.
The project will support the expansion and strengthening of these services with a focus on better reaching the poor and excluded segments of the society.
Three development partners, the World Bank, the Department for International Development of the UK (DFID) and the Australian aid agency, AusAID, have agreed to pool finances to meet a slice of Nepal's health sector expenditures, according to the World Bank. Other funding partners will provide technical and financial assistance directly
