Adapting and implementing a pre-hospital trauma program for community health responders: A pilot study from rural Nepal.

Introduction: Effective pre-hospital care is critical for improving trauma outcomes, yet pre-hospital systems are underdeveloped in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Nepal, where trauma-related deaths are rising. Community health responders (CHRs) have the potential to reduce time to post-injury care in rural settings, where other health infrastructure may be unavailable. This pilot study assessing the feasibility and preliminary impact of CHR based program in rural Nepal.

Pilot Training Program on Hands-Only CPR and Choking First Aid for Frontline Police Responders in Rural Nepal.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and is rising in Nepal. After an OHCA event, a bystander starting CPR quickly has been shown to increase the survival rate.
