U.S. Ambassador to Nepal Alaina B. Teplitz and Minister for Health and Population Ram Janam Chaudhary jointly unveiled plans to rebuild a new, earthquake-safe Bahrabise Primary Health Care Center (PHCC), today. The $1.9 million joint collaboration is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and will be implemented by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), bringing together the Army Corps architectural and engineering know-how and USAID’s public health expertise.

It includes demolishing the existing buildings, reconstruction of the PHCC and fully equipping it according to Ministry of Health standards. “This new Bahrabise Primary Health Care Center shows the U.S. Government’s strong commitment to reconstruction and to ensure healthcare access to those affected by the disaster,” said Ambassador Teplitz during the ceremony.
