Heartiest congratulations to our Vice-Chair, Dr. Buddha Basnyat, and the team at OUCRU Nepal Oxford University Clinical Research Unit - OUCRU on this achievement.
Dr. Buddha's work and OUCRU’s continued commitment to advancing medical research and public health in Nepal remain a source of great inspiration for our team. We value our strong partnership and wish Dr. Buddha and the OUCRU team continued success in their vital endeavors.Proud Moment: Nepal-led research on typhoid fever, led by renowned researcher Dr. Buddha Basnyat of Oxford University Clinical Research Unit Nepal, has been published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, one of the world’s leading infectious disease journals.

We recently welcomed the The Global Fund Local Fund Agent (LFA) team for a field visit to review the project activities and services.

The visit included discussions with health facility staff and the BNMT Nepal team on program interventions, services provided through health facilities, and the availability of essential consumables. The team also reviewed DHIS-2 and NTPMIS data, HMIS tools, and Palika budget provisions supporting TB services.

The visit provided an opportunity to review progress, understand what is working well, and identify areas that can be strengthened to improve TB services and reporting.

Thanks to PM Bivechana Pandey and Nepalgunj team for the pictures!
