摘要: Many infectious/communicable diseases (IDs) are endemic in Nepal. Until a decade and half ago, IDs were the major cause of both morbidity mortality accounting 70% for both. However, as result various preventive measures implemented by state non-state actors, overall have shown changing (declining) trend. The most impressive decline has been seen intestinal helminth infection. Though burden is decreasing, several newer infectious (emerging infections) namely, dengue fever, scrub typhus, influenza (H5N1 H1N1), others posing great public health problem. On other hand, though sporadic, outbreaks together with HIV-TB coinfection infection drug resistance microbes during recent years constituted serious well medical contrary, IDs, noninfectious (noncommunicable disease, NCD) diabetes, cancer (and therapy), on rise particularly urban areas. Hence, currently Nepal trapped “double burden” diseases. Risk opportunistic increased immunocompromised person NCD. To address present situation, multi-sectoral plan strategies developed must be effectively.
