Since 2020, the consortium of m4h and MEH Consultants has been supporting the Recovery II project in Nepal, whose purpose is to rebuild and modernise health posts in several districts that were destroyed in the 2015 earthquake.
The part for the Dolakha site was implemented under the leadership of Bhimeshwor Municipality, Charikot, Dolakha on behalf of the Government of Nepal and the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), is financed by KfW under BMZ No. 2150 10 244. The contract covered the construction of a new HP4 health post in Bhimeshwor Municipality, Dolakha District, Bagmati Province, replacing the previous two-storey structure that had been partially destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. Demolition and site clearance were managed by the Municipality, after which the project proceeded with full site preparation for the new building. The new two-storey health post comprises a ground floor area of 192 m² and a first floor area of 220 m², designed to improve healthcare service delivery and staff working conditions in the district.
The building layout follows the HP4 Health Post standard, with the ground floor featuring a covered entrance terrace, a meeting room, two consultation/counselling rooms, an office, kitchen, utility room, and toilets. The first floor provides two accommodation units for staff, ensuring the health post can operate effectively in rural service delivery. External works include the installation of water tanks, a septic tank, drainage systems, boundary walls, an entrance gate, and parking space for motorbikes. Construction began in April 2024 and was successfully completed on July 31, 2025, in full compliance with the contractual timeline, representing a significant step in strengthening Dolakha’s local health infrastructure.
The health post will provide a wide range of preventive, promotive, and curative services to the community. These include routine child immunization, antenatal and postnatal care, nutrition services, growth monitoring for children under five, and the prevention, treatment, and control of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, malaria, and kala-azar, alongside epidemic control measures. Family planning services and curative care for common illnesses will also be offered. Community health awareness will be promoted through the efforts of Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), who conduct home visits, report monthly to the health post, and support school health programs. Services will be delivered mainly through static clinics at the health post, complemented by periodic outreach clinics to reach underserved areas, ensuring equitable access to essential healthcare
