But why is this work important and strategic for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inf.org\/infs-work\/green-pastures-hospital\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Green Pastures Hospital<\/span><\/a>?<\/p><p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The World Health Organisation [WHO] has indicated that\u00a0<b>palliative care is an urgent priority worldwide<\/b>\u00a0for the swelling numbers who need access to appropriate care. Nepal has only limited palliative care; it is mainly cancer-focused and located in the central part of the country. However, high and growing levels of raised blood pressure and diabetes are increasing the risk and incidence of stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Along with lung disease and cancer, these non-communicable diseases are the cause of much suffering, financial burden, and a significant increase in death rates.<\/p><p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inf.org\/our-work\/palliative-care\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Green Pastures Palliative Care Service<\/span><\/a>\u00a0currently includes 2 inpatient beds and a low-key community service. The strategy is to build off this foundation, developing an innovative model to become the first comprehensive Nepali service caring for\u00a0<i>all\u00a0<\/i>palliative patients irrespective of diagnosis. It will include Day Therapy, clinics, community service and a 10-bed inpatient unit.<\/p><p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Training of health workers and community members is foundational to improving understanding of holistic care,<\/b>\u00a0which includes good symptom management, communication and end of life care.
